In the mid 19th century, many farmers in the centrally located states of the USA were struggling with erosion.

Even though this year, in many places, it was not possible to carry out major activities for International Arbor Day, many people around the world found a way to give their attention to the trees on this important and special day, and perhaps even planted a tree that will provide oxygen to many living beings […] Read on...

April 24th, 2020, just two days after Earth Day, is the International Arbor Day. Trees provide us with shade on a hot summer’s day, but they give us much more: oxygen in exchange for our “waste product”, the CO2 that we exhale; flowers that feed the insects; fruit to snack on; roots that hold the […] Read on...

On April 22nd, 2020, the Earth—our blue planet—will be honoured with Earth Day in over 175 countries, this year, exactly for the 50th time! What would man be without the Earth?
