Fundación Alcoraz project closes the circle of reforestation in Alagón
The Alcoraz Foundation and ICT planted an area equivalent to 40 basketball courts in the town of Zaragoza.
The ‘Play your part’ project closes the reforestation circle. The initiative set up by the Alcoraz Foundation and ICT, the leading tissue paper manufacturing group, through its Foxy brand, repopulated an area equivalent to 40 basketball courts, one hectare, this Tuesday in the Zaragoza town of Alagón. After doing the same in the Teruel town of Calamocha, with the collaboration of the Teruel Volleyball Club, and another in the Huesca town of Siétamo, with the help of SD Huesca, on this occasion Casademont Zaragoza took part in the action with two of its players: Rodrigo San Miguel and Javier García.
“We are very happy because this action allows us to continue to grow and help in something as important as caring for the planet. And to be able to have done our bit in the three provinces that make up Aragon is a source of pride for all of us. From the Alcoraz Foundation we could not be more grateful to all those who have participated: sports clubs, public institutions and CO2Gestión, provider of gardening services to carry out the project,”
Juanjo Camacho, head of strategy and project development of the Alcoraz Foundation.
“With our small contribution, we want to recover the health of the planet, to be an example to be expanded and for other projects to take it as a reference”.

Both agreed that they wanted to build “a garden for our home, because our home is this planet”.
The event was attended by Pedro Ibaibarriaga, board member of SD Huesca, Cuco Lanau, vice-president of the Alcoraz Foundation, Pascual Embid, mayor of Alagón, Jonatan Gómez, councillor for Agriculture and the Environment, and César Slocker, Brand Manager of ICT Ibérica.
After reforesting these three hectares in the three Aragonese provinces, ‘Play your part’ will continue with its commitment to sustainability by carrying out initiatives to raise social awareness through environmental education in schools. “We want to take this idea to the schools in the towns that have been part of the plantation to tell them what they can do,” said Camacho.
Play your part’ is a Corporate Social Responsibility action that aims to repopulate three hectares, one in each Aragonese province, with the collaboration of various leading sports clubs in Aragon and local and provincial entities. The aim is to improve different green areas in the territory, contribute to protecting the Ebro river basin, help rehabilitate the soil and create windbreaks to help protect crops. In this way, together they will do their bit in the fight against global warming, complying with the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals set out in the 2030 Agenda in the fight against climate change.
