The municipal initiative, which ran from autumn until now, aims primarily to increase the tree population and enhance the greening of urban spaces. Of the trees planted, 1,416 were allocated to public roads and green areas, while the remaining 167 were placed in educational centers.

Driven by the Department of Environmental Sustainability, this campaign seeks to improve environmental quality, expand shaded areas, and create an urban fabric more resilient to heat. The increase in trees contributes to better air quality, reduced heat island effect, and the creation of more pedestrian-friendly environments, in addition to promoting urban biodiversity.

In the last seven campaigns, a total of 9,684 trees have been planted in the city, demonstrating the continuity of tree renewal and expansion policies. Among the most used species are hibiscus, nettle tree, sour orange, pink lapacho, flamboyant, Canadian redbud, sophora, and pitanga, selected for their medium stature and adaptability to the urban environment.

The maintenance of urban trees and municipal green spaces is handled by contracted companies, with contracts totaling 18.5 million euros. These contracts are currently in their final annual extension. Additionally, the City Council provides subsidies amounting to 700,000 euros for the upkeep of areas managed by urban conservation entities.

Residents can access detailed information about urban trees, including their location and species, as well as maintenance activities, through the Department of Environmental Sustainability's website. This public service tool allows citizens to learn about the green heritage of their neighborhood.
