Setting the basis for the restoration of the alder forests in Andros, the previous month (March 2018) the first large scale sowing of seeds took place in specially formed rooms of the Agrucultural University of Athens (Laboratory of General and Agrucultural Microbiology). The seeds were collected from alder stands in alluvial lands of Andros, and while we are talking the young seedlings are already in their first stages of maturation. In the next few months, about 9000 seedlings will be transferred in the under construction nursery inside the facilities of Agadaki Estate in Andros (in collaboration with the Kairios Library).
After an essential time of adaptation, they will be transferred in their permanent sites of plantation, i.e. in the sites that the alluvial forests are deteriorated or damaged, in order to gradually achieve their restoration.
