Odesa Plans to Plant 1,500 Trees in 2025 After Removing 312 Stumps

In 2025, the municipal enterprise "Miskzelentrest" planned to plant 1500 young trees in Odesa.

This was reported by the Odesa City Council.

They explained that currently, greenkeepers are actively removing old stumps throughout the city with the help of new equipment - a Rotor Speedy 80/100 stump grinder and a KATA KF1404 tractor. This makes it possible to speed up the process considerably: if earlier it took 12 hours to uproot one stump manually, now this work is done in just 40 minutes.
