But the rural youth was not the only initiative that was awarded. In the "Innovation" category, the Waldetch platform received the state prize for its exemplary reforestation projects, which are aimed at the formation of climate -like mixed forests. Over 50,000 trees have already been planted by the commitment of volunteers, and several hundred people have actively participated in these missions. Minister Totchnig emphasized the importance of such initiatives for the future of the domestic forests and praised the courage of the committed people who are going new paths in forest management. This cooperation between forest owners, companies and educational institutions is considered essential for the preservation and maintenance of our forest, as Blickinsland.at reports.
