9 July 2021 – walk to the Caffarella to get to know the trees

A nice group took part in the walk to get to know the trees, at the Caffarella park. Towards evening it was fine, nothing great hot. Knowing how trees work is already a first step in trying to defend them! Thanks to those present and we will see you soon in a new park. Try to bring children, grandchildren and friends. Soon!
P.S. The tree recognition manual of which I am attaching the cover is simple and clear, with leaves, the indications on seeds and flowers. It is out of business, but it is easily found among the second-hand ones. This edition is the only one with a section on palm trees (in the others it is absent).

24 April 2021 – Walk to the Caffarella to recognize the trees

Today 24 April 2021 first walk to recognize the trees, at the Caffarella park. A heartfelt thanks to the nice group that participated with interest in this naturalistic outing. Knowing is the first step to love, respect and protect. It applies to people, for plants, for animals, for many things.
We will soon reorganize another exit.
We invite you the 2 May to participate in the Tenuta della Mistica in the construction of a forest nursery: it will be used to grow trees available to associations in Rome. From h 10 at 16, Viale Marisa Bellisario, 300, 00155 Rome.

2 October 2020 – Reorganization of tree fences planted at Caffarella with the project “1, 10, 100 alberi”

In date 2 October 2020 we went to rearrange some fences placed around the small trees planted at Caffarella il 21 November of last year (tree Festival). The initiative was carried out as part of the project “1, 10, 100 alberi”, between the Appia Antica Park Authority and associations or citizens who would then take care of the plants.

E’ A fundraiser was made, we agreed on a donation for two consecutive years to the Caffarella Park Committee: a small cistern has been purchased and their volunteers will water the trees twice a week in warm seasons.

After about a year we have repaired some supports damaged by the wind, from the water and a few balls. We also replaced a dried laurel with a new one.
