On 22 October 2025, a tree-planting event took place in Gdańsk, carried out by One More Tree Foundation in cooperation with the company Blue Mandarin. As part of the action, 70 trees were planted, and 5 volunteers took part in field activities.
This is another example of how joint, practical actions can truly strengthen local greenery and support biodiversity in urban and suburban spaces.
Events of this type are something more than a one-off initiative. Each planted tree, in the long term, works for the benefit of the surroundings: it improves the microclimate, supports water retention, creates habitats and corridors for many organisms, and affects the quality of life of residents.
Why do such events matter?
Planting trees is an activity that combines the environmental dimension with building social responsibility. Working together in the field allows participants to see the immediate effect of the actions, but also to better understand that “green change” is a process—requiring planning, proper selection of the location, consistent care, and attention to the durability of the plantings. Initiatives of this kind also foster team integration and strengthen a sense of agency: participants do not only “talk about ecology”, but truly co-create it.
Course of the action in Gdańsk
During the event, the volunteers – five people – carried out the plantings in accordance with good practice principles: from preparing the sites, through planting, to basic protection measures and tidying up the area after the work was completed. Planting 70 trees is a measurable result that will remain in the space for years—provided proper care is given during the plant adaptation stage, especially in the first seasons after planting.
Thank you for the cooperation
We thank Blue Mandarin for cooperation in carrying out the event, and the volunteers for their time, energy, and commitment. Each such action shows that consistent, well-organized efforts—even on a smaller scale—add up to real, long-term change in the local landscape.
