Santiago, Chile – July 2024 - The Planning and Development Office in the Salesians of Chile Province (CIL) has received a donation of 100 native Chilean trees to reforest Peñihue Park, located in Lo Cañas, near Santiago, and inaugurated in November 2023. The donation, delivered on Wednesday 24 July in the municipality of Til Til, took place thanks to the appeal of "Biocys", a consulting company specialising in environmental rehabilitation, thanks in particular to its "Donation of nursery plants from Guayacanes" programme, for which the CIL Province was selected, together with other institutions. The program aims at projects that guarantee the care and development of the plants delivered with sustainable practices in the service of the communities. Ms Elizabeth Vivanco, representative of the Project Office, has received several species of plants that will serve to reforest the Salesian space. "The commitment to care for Creation is already an integral part of our institutional work, which should motivate the entire Salesian Family to take care of our Common Home, generating green spaces that contribute to this environmental sustainability. Generating these alliances will allow us to take care of the environment, "said Ms Vivanco. For its part, Biocys expressed the desire to continue collaborating with the Salesians in terms of ecosystem restoration, through support, advice and dissemination in favour of common well-being and natural spaces.
