This is one of the aspects made possible by EU funding: turning unused agricultural land back into forests. The ministry of agriculture sponsors the seedlings and rewards landowners who plant tree schools on disused land. Whether this is part of balancing the EU's complex agricultural policy, or to help capture carbon molecules from the atmosphere to help combat climate change I will never know.
What I do know is that to make it happen in the tiny village of Nedvezi in the Czech countryside, a few bottles of rum, beer and a hearty breakfast were required to lure helping hands out of bed early on a sunny Saturday morning. With about 10 people, we planted over 2000 trees during a morning's work. After we finished the tree planting (and the rum), we progressed to the village pub. Nazdravi!
