Green Kaunas – Different urban spaces will enrich hundreds of trees

Placing work has accelerated the city: old trees are replaced in public spaces, trees are cut due to diseases, and other areas planted in the city will add green oases. The seedlings will be located in K. Donelaitis, Kęstutis, L. Sapiega, Daukanto, Jonava, K. Petrauskas streets and other spaces. About 250 new linden will appear in the spring planting stage.

« We always combine nature management work and the development of new greenery with changes in the city. Planting trees is not just a decoration of the city – it is an investment in our future, a healthier environment and a better quality life, » said Radeta Savickienė, Head of the Kaunas Municipal Environmental Protection Division.

Planting new trees aims not only to decorate public spaces, but also to improve air quality, reduce noise pollution and create safe homes for birds and beetles. The trees regulate the microclimate of the city, cool through the heat and create a more comfortable environment for city residents and guests.

In recent years, Kaunas has been very active in managing green spaces, parks and new recreation areas. When installing pedestrian and bicycle paths, it is considered how to integrate greenery to each new project.

Intensive renovation work is currently underway in Aleksotas Liepų Avenue. There will be a modern lounge in the area of ​​4 hectares, which will be complemented by over 100 new trees. The apple garden will be formed here, planted in July, rowan and other deciduous trees. The new vegetation was supplemented by Naugardiškės parks of March 11. Up to 10 new trees are planted at the Town Hall.

This is to ensure that the city remains green and that residents can reach an oasis of rest in just minutes.
