Chestnuts, Japanese pagoda trees, and ashes: 26 donated trees planted in Mykolaiv

In Mykolaiv, 26 young trees donated to the city by its partners have been planted. The new trees were planted at two locations as part of the citywide “Give a Tree to the City” initiative.

Several organizations took part in the greening effort, each helping to purchase trees for a specific location:

• 6 young chestnut trees were planted in the “Heroes of the Chornobyl Cleanup” square. They were purchased for the community by Save the Children.
• 20 trees—pagoda trees and ash trees—were planted along the walkway in the green space at the intersection of Kosmonavtiv and Elektronna streets. The saplings were donated to the city by the public organization Kinburn and the Ukrainian-Danish Youth House.

The planting was carried out by specialists from Mykolaiv Parks Municipal Enterprise. The enterprise will provide ongoing care for the young trees.

The “Give a Tree to the City” initiative was launched in the spring by specialists from the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, who purchased and planted saplings at their own expense. In the fall, the initiative continued with support from partners. The Mykolaiv Development Agency coordinated cooperation with them.

“Through our joint efforts, we are continuing to restore and green Mykolaiv. I thank all our partners for their support,” said Deputy Mayor Serhii Koreniev.
