The objective of the research was to make students aware that planting trees is important, including in the school environment and in the community around the school, so that there can be more commitment to the environment that they have come across. Thus, a project was carried out with 1st year students of afternoon high school, from the Pedro Joaquim de Jesus State School of Basic Education, located in the municipality of Teotônio Vilela, Alagoas, in November 2018.

However, over the course of the project, the students' conception of the importance of plants changed, due to the action of the project. However, the work carried out made it possible to experience an experience by providing the students with knowledge on the theme of the importance of plants in the environment in which they live, in our ecosystem, making them aware of the care, maintenance and preservation of the environment and human health, the nature.
