Join us and plant a “Tree for a Friend” in memory of your loved one, who left you too soon and whose kindness and nobility you want to spread in your local community through planting new trees. Donate funds for the purchase of one or more seedlings that we will plant at the end of October this year.
The goal of the project
The “Tree for a Friend” initiative aims to inspire citizens to take action in building healthier, more beautiful and more humane communities. In collaboration with volunteers, friends, donors and supporters, we want to plant new tree seedlings in our local communities in Tuzla Canton, in memory of the humane people who left us too early, who inspired and motivated us throughout our lives to boldly step through life and to believe in love, nobility and friendship. We expect that by planting trees we will awaken the interest of local communities to actively act in the process of creating a long-term healthier and more pleasant environment and contribute to sustainable urban development of cities in our country.

Challenge
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped lives around the world, especially in urban areas. In the face of another uncertain winter, we decided to return to the truly important things. Not wanting to allow pandemics and time to contribute to forgetting our loved ones, our friends, we are determined to plant trees for friends this year as well, because we need nature and humane society more than ever.
Solution
Marking the World Cities Day, October 29, 2021, the Tuzla Community Foundation will, in cooperation with the youth movement “Let’s Do It”, volunteers and activists of RK “Tuzlak”, with the support of JKP Komunalac and with the family of our beloved Angelina, who left us too early, re-launch the joint initiative “Tree for a friend – tree for Angelina 2021”. This year’s location is Krečanska Street, across the TC “Bingo”.
Long-term impact/results
For the sixth year in a row, the Tuzla Foundation is organizing tree planting activity in Tuzla as part of the “Tree for a Friend – Tree for Angelina” campaign. In previous years, volunteers and activists of the Foundation planted around 1,000 seedlings in Tuzla and Tuzla Canton. Today, seedlings of maple, birch, poplar, pear and apple grow proudly in the yards of cultural centers, schools and parks.
