Let's make a halo for poplars! | eco-intervention in Schopenhauer Park

There stood a noble court, of wood, but walled; the whitewashed walls shone from afar, all the more white, that they were reflected from the dark green of Poplar, which defended it from the winds of autumn.

Poplars in Poland have a long tradition as trees planted for protection from the wind around homes, in fields or near roads.

The one that grows in Schopenhauer Park is more than 4 meters in circumference and about 130 years old. So he can still remember the 19th century Orunia... that's why he deserves our attention!

On September 19, we will meet with dendrologist Jakub Khorodensky, officially measure the circumference of the trunk and take a close look at our poplar.

We will also try to dispel the bad reputation of these trees, which are often considered to be anything, short-lived, fragile, too big for the streets, destroying surfaces and littering with fluff.

We collect Oruń stories and memories related to the park and the poplar itself. We will also talk about how it can be protected and better show its uniqueness to the inhabitants of Oruni.
