On October 29, 2020 at 12:00hrs. the Tuzla Community Foundation is organizing a planting trees action within the initiative “Tree for a friend – tree for Angelina”, in Krečanska Street (across the TC Bingo/Tuš) behind a skyscraper.
By marking the World Cities Day, we will enrich our city with 100 seedlings of deciduous and coniferous trees, maple, spruce and birch. Following the example of other successful countries, eco-actions are the beginning of work on strengthening integrated territorial and urban development, intersectoral cooperation, developing innovative models of citizen participation and involving more actors in the common search for sustainable urban development.
Therefore, as in previous years, we are implementing the action with the support of JKP Komunalac, i.e., the City of Tuzla, the youth movement “Let’s Do It Tuzla”, the Network of Active Communities and our citizens, who will plant trees on behalf of their families, friends and loved ones who are not with us anymore. In a very short period, with the help of 47 donors, we collected almost 3,000.00 BAM which were directed to the purchase of seedlings.
This initiative is being realized for the sixth year in a row, thanks to the selfless efforts of donors and volunteers, over 1000 seedlings have been planted so far. The staff of the Tuzla Community Foundation launched the initiative “Tree for a friend – tree for Angelina” in memory of our colleague Angelina Hodžić, who left us too early. The planting tree action has found its place in the hearts of many citizens, who traditionally, from year to year, join the action and the trees forever leave a mark for generations to come.
Agenda:
12:00 -12: 30 – arranging seedlings for planting
12: 30-13: 00 – planting trees
12: 30-13: 00 – video recording and press statement
