In Lviv, fifty seedlings of «Shevchenko’s Oaks» planted from Cherkasy

In Lviv, fifty seedlings of «Shevchenko’s Oaks» were planted, brought from Cherkasy — the homeland of Taras Shevchenko. The news was announced by the Lviv Regional Administration.

New location for the seedlings

The Sknylivsky Park in Lviv became the new location for the seedlings.

Special significance

The Department of Ecology and Natural Resources emphasized that the oak seedlings were grown from acorns taken from the tree where Taras Shevchenko spent his youth and, according to local legends, kept his first drawings.

Supporting nature conservation in Ukraine

These seedlings from the small homeland of the Kobzar will soon be transferred to various parts of Ukraine for further planting. The initiative is part of the «Green Country» program initiated by the President of Ukraine, aimed at supporting nature conservation in Ukraine.
