Monitoring progress at afforestation site

A successful afforestation effort doesn’t end with planting trees. Regular monitoring and maintenance are important to ensure that young seedlings take root and develop into healthy forests.

As part of the project “𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (𝐈𝐅𝐌) 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧,” implemented by CNVP and funded by the Austrian Development Agency and ICEP – Association for Global Development, with the support of Lenzing AG, we visited the 5-hectare afforestation site in Dragash, Kosovo to assess the growth and condition of the planted seedlings and identify any further maintenance needs.

These efforts contribute to restoring degraded land, reducing soil erosion, improving environmental conditions and creating habitats for biodiversity.
