Cecebre oak grove .

Oaks are traditonal trees in the Galician country . For many years their
territory has become smaller and smaller because of different reasons .
We , the Galician people , think , we must look after them as a treasure
of our past and a warranty for our future .
We´ve got a beautiful oak grove very near our school, Cecebre .
“Carballeira” or “fraga” are Galician names for a place with many oaks.
