Education and the environment is a very important combination. From the educational field, learning and transmitting knowledge about the environment is paramount. The knowledge of the environment, nature and other related topics, make it easier for children to start learning, from an early age, about the world in which we live.

Yesterday at a school near my house, they did a very emotional activity. The students together with the teachers decided to plant seeds of aji, peppers, cilantro and spinach to give life to their school orchard. When a child plants a seed, we are inculcating a series of values ​​and principles such as love, respect, dedication, responsibility, ecological and social awareness that will help them make the planet a better place to live.

To reinforce the knowledge of children, it is necessary to visit the library, there they will look for information, drawings and everything related to trees, such as:

• Tree parts.

• Needs and care.

• How and when a tree is planted.

• Different types of trees.

• Relationship between trees and people.

Sometimes schools do not have spaces to plant tree, but we can plant in squares or at home, the most important thing is that the child sows his tree and be responsible for the care he needs, such as water your tree, eliminating weeds, etc. It is very important that children know the great value of nature, love it, take care of it, respect it, get close to it, feel it and enjoy it.

It is very important for children to know that trees:

• They give us shade.

• They clean the environment.

• They attract the birds.

• They give us fruit.

• They embellish homes, communities, mountains, etc.

• They contribute to regulate the rains.

• Mark the seasons of the year.

• They provide oxygen.

• They help prevent water pollution.

• They provide wood.

Whenever possible, we should involve children in the practice of agriculture in a very fun way, since through their own experience, they acquire the necessary values ​​and knowledge, such as; They enjoy nature, respect for the environment, they also learn to acquire responsibilities and strengthen their self-esteem.

Let's teach children to enjoy and value nature, let's take it to:

• Plant a tree.
• To the river.
• Eat under the shade of a tree.
• Climb a branch and mountains.
• Collect flowers and bugs,
• Search for stones, leaves, flowers.

This type of activity is a pleasant and fun lesson of respect and love for our natural heritage.
