“The ENO Programme invites you to an exciting event. A new school year will
be opened in a special way. We will plant trees at midday, in every corner
of the world. The first trees will be planted at noon in Oceania. Following
the Sun, new trees will be put to earth in Asia, Europe and Africa. Finally
this chain of trees will reach Americas… Trees will be planted on
September 22nd, 2008. This day unites us as it's the day for autumnal
equinox” For additional information, visit
