FESTVERDE 2019 — #ReforestationNation

On November 16, 2019, FAS Madrid joined U.S. Embassy Lisbon and over 100 volunteers to plant the first 5,000 trees in the new U.S. – Portugal Friendship Forest, located in beautiful and historic Pinhal de Leiria. It was a GREEN day filled with educational booths and presentations on environmental sustainability, eco-friendly exhibitors, and the planting of thousands of native trees in one of Portugal’s most renowned forests!  In partnership with USDA and Quercus,  participants had the opportunity to join in planting trees, while celebrating this momentous occasion with music, food, games, and FUN!
