Topicsreforestationurban treesnative plant conservation

A reforestation project at Quinta da Nogueira in Seia has begun with the planting of 32 native trees (hawthorn, strawberry tree, birch and rowan), one for each edition of the CineEco environmental film festival. The aim is a CineEco Woodland that could, in a few years, host a natural auditorium shaped by the landscape itself, with open-air screenings. The planting took place on Sunday 11 October on land being converted into a public leisure area, and is meant to offset the impact of festival guests. It starts a cycle the festival will repeat in future editions. This year's 32nd edition has 103 films from 34 countries in its selection.
