On October 10, the development company "m² Real Estate" together with the Tbilisi City Hall Environmental Protection Service, planted about 500 trees on the right and left banks of the river Mtkvari in the frame of the landscaping campaign. The event was attended by m² staff, craftsmen of the construction company BK Construction, rugby players, UN Women representatives, and journalists.

The participants in the campaign landscaped an additional territory of 1 hectare in the city. Silver Atlas and Himalayan cedars, as well as some leafy trees,  were planted. By request of m², the Tbilisi Botanical Garden and the company “Magnolia” will take care of them, and the trees will then be transferred to the Tbilisi City Hall.

In the company, they say that the essence of this campaign is not only planting trees but also together with the experts selecting purposefully and functionally correct varieties of trees for the city. That is why it became necessary to collaborate with experienced suppliers and specialists at the Tbilisi Botanical Garden. As a result of consulting with them and the Tbilisi City Hall Environmental Protection Service, the varieties of suitable trees and landscaping locations were selected. The current campaign is a kind of continuation of the Mtatsminda Slope Landscaping Project.

The largest landscaping campaign undertaken by m² in 2017 is to restore 26,000 square meters of the area destroyed by wildfires on the Mtatsminda slope. The company has fully ensured the rehabilitation of the landscape damaged by the fire, the restoration of the green cover and its further maintenance. Now, there are 3000 plants of eight species there, the irrigation system is in place, the damaged plants are periodically replaced, the soil is loosened, the mineral fertilizers are added and the irrigation is carried out. In the near future, the company plans to landscape the territory of 10 hectares across the city.

“We have been very enthusiastic about joining this landscaping campaign with our entire team of m² and our partner organizations. The Tbilisi City Hall Environmental Protection Service has joined us and we are now continuing the process jointly. Subsequent to planting, we will also monitor the vegetation period and, if necessary, we will replace damaged trees. Finally, we will give Tbilisi City Hall a completely landscaped area”, - said Nino Rukhadze, Deputy Director-General for Public Relations of m².
