Some workshops were carried out with High School teachers to make an Environmental Education Proposal for one square in the Botucatu city's historical center. The workshops were based on historical and botanical principles and were associated with the Environmental Education. As a result an ecological trail was designed through the plants, which had been previously identified. This project proved to be very important to the teachers in their professional growth. It boosted their interest in local history. This approach and the cultural diversity encountered enriched the proposal and brought benefits to teachers' practical teaching.
