PAULONIA PROJECT – 100 K TREES FOR PIEDMONT
#100MilaAlberiperilPiemonte is a program to which AFV Beltrame Group, as part of the company’s environmental #sustainability projects, has joined with the San Didero plant, donating 800 trees to the local area. The initiative is aimed at carrying out a reforestation project to increase the greenery of the region by creating more facilities capable of reducing the presence of CO2.
The project has identified in the region a whole series of areas suitable for accommodating plants. The parameters for the selection of the areas mainly concern the proximity to urban centres, areas with heavy vehicular traffic and city perimeter areas. Paulonia, with its wonderful white or lilac flowers, grows quickly and has a wood that is highly appreciated in various sectors. From its flowers, loved by bees for the high quantity of nectar, beneficial substances for medicines are also obtained. The majestic crown with large leaves is able to capture the dust in the air. But above all it can quickly absorb large quantities of CO2, returning oxygen and for this reason it is also called an anti-smog tree. The project was also shared with local stakeholders with their favorable opinion and participation in the inauguration of the planting of the first 400 trees in recent days in land adjacent to the San Didero plant.
