We Plant the Czech Republic
How do I know you will actually plant the tree?
Information about plantings, including locations, number of trees and GPS coordinates, is regularly published on Sázíme Česko. We will let you know when your tree is planted. Usually within 6 months, because we are waiting for suitable climatic conditions and seedlings must be ordered in advance.
How is the amount of CZK 69 used?
The price covers all costs associated with planting (seedlings, planting itself, transport, site preparation, etc.), it also allows us to coordinate volunteers at planting events for the public, arrange cooperation with landowners, hire experts who design the composition of the forest and supervise the planting, using advertising to reach thousands of people (which is necessary in order to plant a large number of trees) and to reward everyone involved in the project for their work. It is also thanks to you that we can create educational content and thus educate the Czech Republic on how to be more considerate of nature.
What trees are planted?
Certainly not monocultures prone to bark beetles and other scourges. We plant different types of trees with an emphasis on natural biodiversity. The choice of seedling type always depends on the location in which the planting takes place. We follow the recommended methodology under the supervision of expert Ing. Josef Salač.
Will someone take care of the trees afterwards?
Yes, without follow-up care, trying to help would be completely useless. The owner of the land on which we will plant the forest will take care of the trees. Even the owner of the land is obliged by the law on the so-called "secured culture" to restore a forest that was cut down due to some natural disaster.
Sázíme Česko/We Plant the Czech Republic
We strongly sympathize with Sázíme Česko initiative and the idea of the @sazimecesko project, we believe in it, and you will definitely meet us among the volunteers at the spring planting of young trees.
