Mexico City plants 500 trees in San Juan de Aragón Forest for National Reforestation Event

Mexico City's Environment Secretariat joined the National Reforestation Event 2026, planting 500 native trees in the Bosque de San Juan de Aragón. The initiative, supported by the National Forestry Commission (CONAFOR), also marked Tree Day.

During the event, ash, huizache, and acacia trees were planted across approximately two hectares. This effort is part of a "Environmental Compensation" project CONAFOR has been developing for two years in the forest to enhance its vegetation cover and biodiversity.

Beyond the planting activities, attendees received practical advice on how to plant trees correctly. They also deepened their understanding of biodiversity, forest ecosystems, and the critical importance of conserving natural resources. The event was held simultaneously across all 32 federal entities, with participation from socially responsible companies and volunteers dedicated to restoring and conserving urban green spaces.
