In the current context, we face a number of challenges related to awareness of the importance of valuation, preservation and protection of the environment and the sustainability of its resources. Environmental education becomes an important tool for thinking about how to change the way you think and act with respect to environmental issues, considering the present-day requirements. Thus, the project “Social Forestry: Sowing the future" aims to support the formation of citizens with ecologically sustainable attitudes, promoting society through conscious actions. The project began in 1996 and now works with children and youth participating in the Growing Project, a project that is linked to the Municipality of Botucatu. Children and youth participate in the project for a year and respond to the same questionnaire twice, once at the beginning and one at the end of the year; during dynamic and fun activities are developed with the intent to get their attention and make assimilate the information passed to them. Analysis of the questionnaire answered by the children and young people, both at the beginning and at the end of the year, shows that the highest percentage of mistakes focuses on fauna and flora issues, and that there was gain knowledge about environmental issues, by children, after passage through the project.
