This village is located in one of the areas in the Algarve that was badly affected by the major fires in the municipalities of Tavira and S\u00e3o Br\u00e1s de Alportel between 18th and 22nd July 2012. It thus contributes to the awareness-raising and training campaign carried out by the teacher S\u00edlvia Barbosa and the President of the Parish Council of Cachopo, Ot\u00edlia Cardeira, which primarily involved the participation of 30 1st cycle pupils. Supported by official bodies and the local population, one of the areas worst affected by the fires was chosen. Castel\u00e3o was surrounded by fire and plunged into the misery of ash that the fun and laughter of these children came to dispel.<\/p>\n<p>Six groups were formed. Armed with hoes, each of the six groups set off with two dozen indigenous trees that are important for the regional economy. Such as carob and fig trees, stone pines, cork oaks, mulberry; olive, walnut and chestnut trees, and not forgetting the strawberry tree, which is an important part of Algarve flora despite not being a tree, strictly speaking.<\/p>\n<p>Supported by the forestry technical staff, they looked for the best sites, which were sometimes indicated by local residents based on a combination of experience and nostalgia for a bygone era that we glimpsed through the stories we were told to the rhythmic sound of the hoes. With their usual curiosity, the children asked questions and learned to distinguish between the different types of tree chosen to bring new life to a forgotten place.<\/p>\n<p>The idea was to create a new forest, living and diverse along the route of the Via Algarviana, the old St. Vincent\u2019s trail for walkers from Alcoutim to what was once the end of the world.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-17813\" src=\"http:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/visita-Escola1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"visit school Castel\u00e3o\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/visita-Escola1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/visita-Escola1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Following an afternoon spent discovering the small wonders of simple things, such as moving some soil and discovering a worm, it was recalled with satisfaction that the maxim that \u201call great journeys start with a small step\u201d; and with hope that it will be a long and prosperous journey to the destination of restoring and revitalising the interior of the country, not with impractical modern ideas but with wisdom and a sense of heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Through the book \u201cthe man who planted trees,\u201d the youngsters understood how the efforts and dedication of just one man could make a difference to the lives of others and to the world around him. This story is based on true facts, and tells us about the importance of small daily gestures and about how, with your own hands, with resilience and a lot of generosity, an arid, grey place can be turned into a magical forest full of life. It is a story which ECO123 was inspired by, to pursue one\u2019s dreams independently of the size of the obstacle, and it teaches that, however insignificant, it is still possible to create a rich and sustainable ecosystem and help nature to revitalise itself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div><div class=\"author-info\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-img\" src=\"http:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/joao.png\" alt=\"\" \/><div class=\"author-info-content\"><h3>About the author<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\nJo\u00e3o Gon\u00e7alves (31) Was born in Serpa, and holds a degree in Marketing, Business Communication, and Audio-visual Production from the University of Algarve, in Faro.
