information
The voluntary organization Rimboschiamo was born in January 2020 from the meeting of 7 people united by the passion for trees and environmental education. It is twinned with the Spanish association ARBA (asociaciòn para la recuperaciòn del bosque autoctono) that inspired its statute and organization, and adheres to the foundation AlberItalia for the monitoring and assistance of tree planting activities throughout Italy.
We plant trees and native shrubs for urban forestation and environmental restoration of degraded areas, giving priority to state land or otherwise usable by the community and following the latest criteria of "restoration ecology" applied to the Mediterranean environment. We educate young people and adults on the importance and benefits of trees and forests, an action that we believe is particularly urgent in Sicily, being the Italian region at highest risk of desertification.
Currently we have in custody 3 areas in the province of Ragusa by public administrations:
10 hectares in the Archaeological Park of Streppenosa between Modica and Scicli in agreement with the Sicilian Region, where we are recovering land subject to illegal grazing and strong erosion.
3000 square meters of land in the municipality of Scicli, where in 2020 we started to plant an urban forest that is still being expanded.
7000 square meters of municipal land on the outskirts of Ragusa, where in 2021 we planted a mixed urban forest consisting of about 300 plants of 12 different species, following the method of participatory forestation.
We strongly believe in the involvement of citizenship in our projects and in any form of collaboration with other associations that deal with trees and woods.
