4 Countries 1 Tree4 Countries 1 Tree

The following Tree herbarium was produced by pupils of the G.B.Niccolini Junior High School, from San Giuliano Terme (PI) Italy, during 2012-13, within the framework of the 4 Countries 1 T.R.E.E. Comenius Project sponsored by the EU.

It is intended and its only scope is didactical, as a tool for our foreign/Iocal partner Schools, to know better about our local flora.

Nonetheless, as it was supervised by local experts in the field of flora, it also has a stated scientific and reference value.

We hereby wish to thank all people involved in this product: our pupils (first of all), our teachers (Prof. Cristina Palla, Prof.

Antonio Ballini, Prof. Rosi Chiriacò) the supervisors (Mr Bucci, Prof. Stefano Benvenuti – the Agronomy Dept of Pisa

University) and all our foreign Partners and Colleagues who visited us and shared our common love for Education

Pisa, ITALY AD 2013
