Educação Ambiental com estudantes do IFMG: formação de um bosque florestal em São João Evangelista (MG)

This report seeks to share methodological and practical information on an environmental education action: the planting of a forest grove at the Federal Institute of Minas Gerais in São João Evangelista / MG. The project was developed in a pasture area in disuse and the activities developed were: on-site visit for planning; mechanized mowing; demarcation of the path of the visitation trail; control of leaf-cutting ants; marking, opening of planting pits and base fertilization; planting, manual crowning and cover fertilization. The work was a unique opportunity to practice environmental education in a non-formal environment, stimulating students' critical and creative capacity to overcome adversity.
