Preserving Nature Contest

EDP ​​Distribuição will support the purchase of native trees for planting, as part of its 2019 Social Investment Plan and its involvement with local communities.

The main objective of the contest promoted by EDP Distribuição is the preservation of biodiversity and natural heritage, encouraging national reforestation.

In 2019, the Preserve Nature Program will focus its activities on burning areas and, for this reason, the contest is open to the districts most affected by the fires of 2017 and 2018: Coimbra, Guarda, Castelo Branco, Viseu, Leiria, Santarém and Faro.


If your municipality belongs to one of the above districts, learn how to apply here.

As co-financier, EDP Distribuição supports the projects presented, financing the purchase of the trees up to a maximum of € 25,000 per application, and the municipalities will be responsible for managing the remaining costs, namely execution, land preparation, reforestation and project monitoring.
