This work is dedicated to retrieve the path of the Forest Museum "Octavio Vecchi" since its conception by analyzing the environmental concern spread in its eighty years of existence. Since there is lack of previous approaches, this exploratory and descriptive case study is characterized by document analysis, interviews and direct observation. Stand out characters interposed in the institution's history, who helped directly or indirectly to interdisciplinarily diversify its legacy. Iniciating in 1931, in Sao Paulo, the museum was created for scientific purposes and for the study of forestry in Brazil. It became clear at the beginning of this investigation the museum special concern on educational aspects and spreading of an environmental culture.

We conclude that the relevance of this institution and its founder in the production of knowledge and construction of environmental concerns in order to reforest São Paulo and Brazil amid the spread of a culture of forests , would be included as references to Brazilian environmental history and be object of study and source of research, aiming at future academic and literary works
