More than 200 native species have been planted in El Moralet Urban Park

A hundred students from El Murtal and Nuestra Señora de los Dolores participate in Benidorm's Arbor Day

11 March 2025
Un centenar de alumnos de El Murtal y de Ntra. Sra. de los Dolores participan en el Día del Árbol de Benidorm

One hundred fifth and sixth grade students from El Murtal Primary School and the Nuestra Señora de los Dolores charter school participated today in the traditional Arbor Day celebration in Benidorm, which this year marks its twenty-second anniversary.

This was an initiative of the City Council through the Departments of Education, Environment, and Parks and Gardens. In addition to the children, around twenty students from the TAvalem Benidorm Sostenible program of the Department of Employment participated: ten from the course "Auxiliary Activities in Nurseries, Gardens, and Gardening Centers and Installation and Maintenance of Gardens and Green Areas" and the same number from "Environmental Interpretation and Education."

The Mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez; Councilors Maite Moreno, Mónica Gómez, José Ramón González de Zárate, and other members of the council participated in the event, which also included support from the Local Police's Environmental Unit, a rural environmental guard, municipal technicians, and the concessionaires for Parks and Gardens, Actúa, and Street Cleaning, FCC.

The objective of this event is to bring "nature closer to the younger generations so that they not only know what it means to plant a tree, but also how to care for it and then enjoy it," stated Toni Pérez, who explained that "The tree we are planting today, no matter what happens, is the tree that will provide us with shade tomorrow."

"It's very good," emphasized Toni Pérez, "that children know that a tree is life, that it is a living being that must be cared for at all times." That is why Tree Day is celebrated in Benidorm with "the youngest residents, with our future."

In total, more than 200 native species have been planted in the El Moralet Urban Park: carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), dwarf fan palm (Chamaerops humilis), rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus), oleander (Nerium oleander), alardierna (Rhamnus alaternus) and tamarisk (Tamarix Gallica).
