PHOTO GALLERY // Forest Generation campaign in Poganesti: more than 3,000 hectares to be afforested in Moldova this autumn

The National Planting Event today started in the Prut River meadow, in the commune of Poganesti, central Hancesti district, where approximately 1,200 people will plant 40 hectares of poplar trees. The action is part of the #ForestGeeration campaign and is taking place at more than 80 locations across Moldova.

This autumn, afforestation work is planned across 3,000 hectares, with more than 33 million seedlings grown in specialized nurseries to be planted.

Presently, the forest coverage rate of Moldova is a little bit more than 11.6 per cent, significantly below the European Union average, which exceeds 35 per cent. In recent years, more than 24,000 hectares have been afforested in the country.

The #ForestGeneration Autumn 2026 campaign is part of the National Forest Expansion and Rehabilitation Programme, which aims to increase forested areas.
