ZAGREB, 12 Dec 2021 - Thousands of volunteers have planted roughly 15,000 seedlings throughout Croatia in the last 30 days within the CO2MPENSATING BY PLANTING forestation campaign, the Scout and Guide Association of Croatia reported last Tuesday.
The project, organized by this association in cooperation with the state-run Hrvatske Šume forest management company and the Heart agency, intends to help reforest the areas in Croatia already affected by climate change.
The project would like to engage companies, institutions, and all other interested parties that want to compensate for their CO2 emission and neutralize their carbon footprint, becoming a positive example of care for the environment and the community.
The program Šumoborci (Forest Fighters) is an educational part of the campaign CO2MPENSATING By PLANTING, and all participants, in addition to taking part in interesting workshops, will be able to plant their seedlings through forestation campaigns and thus offset part of their CO2 emission from their carbon footprint.
The project is being implemented under the auspices of the US Embassy in Croatia, the Office of the European Parliament in Croatia, and the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development.
