We planted with university students: 1,350 trees!
On October 16, we set out once again, targeting the well-known forest patch, the Farkas Forest in District IV.
ABOUT THE PLANTING AREA
Our planting area is part of a long, predominantly open, grassy habitat, stretching nearly 1 km along Megyeri Road and the Farkas Forest Nature Conservation Area.
The grassland has developed on the top and sides of an embankment, and is recorded in the forestry registry as a “clearing.”
“The habitat also features sparse tree stands, predominantly composed of non-native species. The gradual replacement of these with native species is among the plans for the coming years.“

And that’s exactly why we were here!
STUDENTS INSTEAD OF COMPANIES
Instead of companies, this time, students from the sociology undergraduate program at ELTE, as well as law students, joined us, enthusiastically grabbing the spades with boundless cheer and energy!
Good spirits and youthful energy were indeed necessary, as preparing the planting holes was quite a challenge in some places.
1350 NATIVE TREE SEEDLINGS WERE PLANTED
The enthusiasm was accompanied not only by strength but also by joy, so by the end of the day, we planted 1350 native tree seedlings, once again under the watchful professional eyes of FŐKERT.
