From his home in Banfield, **Néstor Leverone** has found a simple yet powerful way to [contribute to caring for the planet](https://noticiasambientales.com/medio-ambiente/pequenas-acciones-que-generan-un-gran-impacto-ambiental-como-contribuir-al-cuidado-del-planeta/): **giving away trees that he himself plants and cares for**, to be planted in different areas.
His initiative has a clear message: each person who receives a tree must be **responsible for its growth and protection**.
*”I just ask that they take care of them, help them grow,”* expresses Néstor in an interview with La Unión, who believes that planting trees is a [fundamental action for the well-being of the planet](https://noticiasambientales.com/medio-ambiente/incendios-forestales-jovenes-por-bariloche-pide-colaboraciones-para-reforestar-areas-afectadas/).
## How his reforestation project was born
With a small **green space in his house**, Néstor cares for each tree from its birth, saving seeds and small shoots from being **trampled or cut**.
When he has trees ready to give away, he offers them to **neighbors and friends** interested in **joining the cause**.
His initiative gained more recognition when he approached the **Vivero Los Tilos de Banfield**, where he left several trees to be distributed for free.
*”Tamara, the person in charge of the nursery, accepted the proposal and shared my action on social media. Thanks to that, those trees are now in different gardens in the area,”* he proudly recounts.
## The impact of his work in different localities
Néstor has traveled to **various towns** to promote tree care, delivering specimens of:
– **Ash and paradise trees**.
– **Plane trees and loquats**.
– **Avocados and other native species**.
He also points out that many people **are unaware of the importance of tree planting**, so his mission also involves **educating and raising awareness**.
*”Trees give us oxygen, shade, and life, but not everyone knows how much they contribute. We must teach the new generations their true value,”* he explains.
## Giving away trees: a green legacy for future generations
For Néstor, this action has a profound purpose: **to leave a better world for his grandchildren**.
*”If we want big changes, we have to start with small acts. Children must learn from a young age, and adults must also join in. There is always room to plant, if one truly wants to,”* he concludes.
His example shows that **each person can make a difference**, contributing with simple yet significant actions in environmental conservation.
