Bioagra continues planting trees around the “Goświnowice” Ethanol Production Plant. This week, over 170 several-year-old trees have been planted, which will constitute an avenue along the Nysa ring road and the access road to the company.

Trees from 6 to 8 years old, which usually grow in the Opole region, were selected for planting, e.g. small-leaved and silver linden, cherry plum or rowan. The trees will affect the aesthetics of the factory surroundings, as well as contribute to reducing the noise level from the production installation.

The new trees will introduce the necessary biodiversity and enrich the surroundings with color. The maroon leaves of the cherry plum will strongly contrast with the silver-green coverings of the linden trees and the colors of the Serbian spruce, black pine and cypress trees already growing around the plant.  

– We plant quite large trees, because the seedlings are up to 4 meters high and the trunks are up to several centimeters thick – says Mirosław Obarski of Bioagra SA. – We work with the use of specialized equipment. The ground is drilled to a depth of about half a meter to reach the soft earth. Thanks to this, trees will be able to develop the root system more easily, without wasting energy in passing into the water through compacted soil – adds Mirosław Obarski  

Bioagra emphasizes that the scale of spring and current plantings is very large. The company has planted more trees around the “Goświnowice” Ethanol Production Plant than Rzeszów in the entire city with nearly 200 000 inhabitants. The company has been planting trees intensively since 2018. The costs, without ongoing maintenance, i.e. watering and protection, have already amounted to several hundred thousand zlotys.
