The Thrace Biodiversity Protection Society (THPS) was recently declared a reforestation contractor by the Ministry of National Economy\/General Directorate of Forests and Forest Environment and will proceed with the reforestation of part of the Drymos forest area, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Alexandroupolis Forestry Department. The reforestation project will be financed by WWF resources, which was mobilized to assist in restoration actions of the burned area of Evros, drawing resources from foreign institutions.<\/p>

Reforestation will be carried out based on the approved study accompanying this call.<\/p>

This reforestation is included in the study approved by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry entitled \u201cStudy of management guidelines for the restoration of forest ecosystems in the Evros region after the 2023 fire<\/a>\u201d which was completed in May by WWF Greece. The study proposes monitoring the course of natural regeneration for the largest part of the area based on a specific hierarchy, while for the 3,500 ha area in the forest location Drymos, immediate artificial reforestation is proposed. The special feature of this area is that it has burned three times in recent years, some parts in 2009, 2020 and 2023 and some in 2011, 2020 and 2023. Last year's fire in particular passed through the area with high severity, thus excluding its natural recovery. 1145 ha. of this area concerns the said announcement.<\/p>

The important features of the reforestation are that a variety of trees and shrubs will be used, while no plantings will be made in places where natural regeneration has been observed, especially in streams. The reforestation project (planting, watering and plant care) will last 3 years. The EPBTH will accompany the reforestation work with various informational and educational activities. After the end of the reforestation, the EPBTH will undertake the monitoring of the project.<\/p>
