As well as the maintenance of the highways of the Romantic Route, which has been awarded the title of the most beautiful road in Brazil several times. “We count on the help of Neovia, which carries out preventive pruning, but our biggest problem is birdweed and, to remedy this, we need to hire a specialized company”, said the president.
Jorge Darlei Wolf, mayor of the city that hosts the Rota Romântica, praised the organization’s work, mainly for promoting it as a region. Jayme Santos Stein, an honorary member of the entity, was also honored for the tireless legal services provided, voluntarily, to the entity over the last few years.
