In the autumn of 2011, Ellatzite-Med and Geotechmin launched a three-year programme “Our Green Tomorrow”. Within this initiative, 30 decares of municipal woodlands and forests were planted as well as various urban greenspaces in Srednogorie region and in the towns of Etropole and Samokov.

Forestation activities include preparation of the soil, training of volunteers, selection of suitable tree species, planting and monitoring of saplings. Representatives of the investor and the concerned municipality together with a forest engineer have jointly selected the terrains for forestation and urban planting.

The plantations sown under “Our Green Tomorrow” programme include green hedges fencing around “St. Petka” Chapel near the village of Chavdar and trees planted on the burnt-down terrains along the Cherni Vit River on the land of Etropole town and Samokov Valley.

A considerable number of volunteers from the local community took part in “Our Green Tomorrow” programme as well as mayors, representatives of municipalities, students and employees of GEOTECHMIN GROUP.
