Another "green" postal initiatives. Volunteers help rebuild more forests
Poczta Polska continues cooperation with the State Forests for the environment. Volunteers - employees of Poczta Polska - from October 2020 take part in subsequent forest planting actions. As part of the last initiative, Opole postalists planted as many as 1000 pine seedlings on the November day, while Wrocław - 1,700 oak pcs!
This time, Polish postal employees supported the forest reconstruction campaign near Dębska Kuźnia, in the Opole poviat. In the years 2015-2019, 20 hectares of forest dried there because of the drought.
The foresters decided to clean the area of dead trees. However, the pine forest will not go down in history. Thanks to the involvement of 20 volunteers from the Opole Poczta Polska region, the stand can be reproduced again.
In November, postalists planted nearly 1000 pine seedlings. In the footsteps of Opole postal workers were also followed by their colleagues from the network region in Wrocław. Despite the difficult weather conditions, they planted as many as 1,700 oaks in the osolin forestry. It was possible to carry out both of these actions thanks to the established in January this year. Cooperation of the national operator with the State Forests.
This is not the first such action in which the employees of Poczta Polska take part on October 20, 2020 in Solec Kujawski, postcards from the Bydgoszcz region of the network planted 462 trees, which referred to the age of Poczta Polska. The action was adopted very positively by both the employees-volunteers and foresters. Post -officers' involvement and Szczytna idea of social responsibility activities gave an impulse to formalize cooperation. Signed in January this year. The agreement of Poczta Polska and the State Forests created a framework for taking further actions at the regional level. This year, despite pandemic conditions, several such activities were carried out.
In May this year Postcards from the network region in Olsztyn helped renew the forest in the Wipsowo Forest District. In turn, at the end of September, postal postcards in Świętokrzyskie, as part of a joint action with foresters from the Daleszyce Forest District, in turn planted a young forest.
It is worth noting that 30 years ago, there were an average of 99 trees for every Pole in forests managed by the State Forests. Today, despite the fact that the population has not changed significantly since then, it is an average of 161 per capita trees, i.e. 63 more. This is the result of changes in the thinking of Poles and greater care for the natural environment on the part of the business. Polish Post, as a socially responsible company, actively joins in pro -ecological activities and adapts its functioning model to more stringent standards that limit the company's impact on the climate.
