Project Description
Our organisation develops small scale forest afforestation projects across Baltic states. Current project - Padvariai is 4 ha in size and since it has very wet landscape - Black alders were a perfect match here. We also saved all of local natural habitat of birds and other species. In total we planted around 11000 saplings in this land plot.
Stakeholders and local communities involved in the project
Stakeholders are locals who helped to plant the trees, also locals who help to take care of the trees and the land itself.
Project Goals
Main goal is afforestation of land which previously was degraded and unused. The trees will never be cut for commercial purposes, therefore the project will continue forever.
Co-benefits
Biodiversity, since this area is known for bird nesting places
Tree species (planted and/or existing)
Black alder, Birch, Oak, Salix caprea
