About 2,000 people—including members of the cabinet of ministers, government employees and volunteers—joined the Forest Generation afforestation campaign today. In Poganesti, central Hancesti district, 33,000 poplar saplings were planted across 40 hectares on the Prut River meadow. The planted trees will help protect the soil, improve air quality and conserve biodiversity.

This autumn, the afforestation campaign also included a social component. The participants were encouraged to bring clothing and footwear in good condition to be donated to people in need of support.

Planting activities also took place at 80 other locations across Moldova and the campaign continues. This autumn, afforestation works are planned on 3,000 hectares, along with the planting of more than 33 million saplings grown in specialized nurseries. By 2032, the National Afforestation Programme envisages the planting and rehabilitation of approximately 145,000 hectares of forest.
