Venustiano Carranza launches reforestation drive, plans to plant 5,000 trees

The Venustiano Carranza mayor's office in Mexico City has initiated a large-scale reforestation effort, targeting the planting of more than 5,000 trees over the next two months. This campaign emphasizes environmental recovery and aims to enhance green spaces across the district.

“

the reforestation will be carried out on avenues, boulevards, streets, markets, sports facilities and in places such as the Bordo de Xochiaca and Alameda Oriente, as well as in areas where palm trees that were no longer salvageable were previously removed.

According to an official statement, the planting process will adhere to strict environmental guidelines. Specialized techniques will be employed based on tree species, ideal locations, and conditions necessary for their survival. Mayor Evelyn Parra highlighted that the trees will be planted along avenues, streets, markets, and sports facilities. Areas previously cleared of unrecoverable palm trees will also be reforested.

these 5 thousand trees could be doubled to expand the environmental recovery program of the demarcation.

The initial phase will focus on the Colonia Jardín Balbuena, where trees exceeding 4 meters in height will be planted. Parra expressed optimism that if the initial goal is met within the timeframe, the program could be expanded to double the number of trees planted. This coordinated effort with the Secretariat of the Environment of Mexico City is expected to benefit the inhabitants of all 78 neighborhoods and two indigenous towns within the district.
