Planting untrained samplings

The municipality of Hegyvidék developed a tree replacement strategy for the district within the Urban Green Belts (UGB) CENTRAL EUROPE project, with special attention to district trees and tree rows, in collaboration with experts from the International Dendrological Foundation. Following the creation of the strategy, the municipality launched the Hegyvidék Sapling and Young Tree Program in 2019, in which it began the experimental planting of young, untrained saplings in the district instead of pre-grown nursery trees.
