Environmental research

The goal of the project is to restore original willow woods in the Danube catchment area and to promote usage of wood biomass on the local level. Restoration will be done through cutting the willow tree-tops and thus restoring their productive function and through planting the local trees. Another restoration activity will be cutting-off the invasive species, which decrease the biodiversity value of such habitat. Removals will be used as fuel wood and the smaller ones for pellet production. CO2 accumulated in the removals as the switch from coal or gas heating is direct contribution towards reducing the climate change. Thus, project will ensure rehabilitation of protected area and promotion of local renewal energy source.
