UAM Students Dressed-up in Green - Reforestation Campaign

Students from UAM dressed-up in Green the past Friday October 19th. As part of our leadership class, Gustavo Salinas and I, Adriana Diaz, organized a reforestation campaign within the university. We had the support of thirteen students from the faculties of CUSE, Industrial Engineering, Diplomacy, and Design.

The campaign was a complete success. With the support of UAM’s employees and my father, Miguel Diaz, we worked from 8:00 to 11:30 a.m. in order to plant 25 Guayacan trees and 15 Mosaico bushes. The following were located in the parking lot in front of the university’s lobby.

As part of our project, we chose a local endemic tree. The Guayacan can be found from Mexico down to Venezula. This tree remains green for most of the time except for a period during the year were this tree’s beautiful and colorful flowers bloom. The following can either be purple, pink, or yellow.  

We would like to thank all of those who supported us during this campaign including my mom Ruth Maria Rizo, the company Nuevo Carnic, and INAFOR for helping us obtain and for donating the plants and the trees. We leave you with some pictures, the list of all the students who supported us, and with the hope that this becomes a yearly event!
