An acorn harvest in Moscow

Children and adults gather outdoors around a table for an organized activity or event, with tents and bikes visible in a park-like setting on a sunny autumn day.

In Moscow, Greenpeace Russia organized an acorn harvest in Dubki park. The acorns will be used for reforestation after the forest fires that happened this summer. Hundreds of people picked up about 3000 kg of acorn today!

What a great practical action – in the coming years, thanks to these organisers, Russia will hopefully be full of new trees again.
