How the Shelterbelt Was Established
Employees of the Studenykivskyi Regional Landscape Park prepared the site in advance, created the planting furrows, and organized the work.
Most of the plants were grown at the Shelterbelts of Life project nursery, established at the Department of Forest Reproduction and Forest Melioration at the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (NUBiP of Ukraine). The remaining seedlings were provided by Teteriv Forestry District of the Stolychna Forestry Branch of the State Enterprise “Forests of Ukraine” and by project supporters involved in growing planting material.
The main planting took place on April 8, 2026. With organizational support from the Studenykivska Village Council, 18 participants planted 2,400 trees and shrubs in four rows in two and a half hours. The team included employees of the Studenykivskyi Regional Landscape Park, community representatives, representatives of the charitable foundation Peli can live, and project partners.
