On the occasion of World Forest Day, the Agency for Management of Protected Areas of Podgorica implemented an action in Gorica aimed at removing plant waste from the oak forest on the summit plateau.

In a short time, thanks to the organized and dedicated work of all those present, a large amount of dry branches that were choking the biodiversity of this part of Gorica were collected next to the walking path, the Agency for Protected Areas Management announced. Early next week, Zelenila's machinery will remove the collected plant waste.
"International Day of Forests is celebrated to highlight the importance of forest conservation. Forests are not just a decoration of nature - they are our allies in the fight against climate change, guardians of biodiversity and sources of clean air and water.
At the beginning of the oak forest, employees of the Professional Service of the Agency for the Management of Protected Areas in Podgorica will in the coming period arrange the educational trail 'Oak Forest', as well as two more trails, which will be intended for school and preschool children, but also for all visitors to Gorica," the statement said.
