Athens, 12 December 2022-
Three old olive trees from Achaia were “adopted”, with the assistance of ERGOSE, by the Gymnasium of Schinoussa. Responding to a request from the high school of Schinoussa, ERGOSE granted and transplanted today three olive trees in the school yard.
The replanting took place in the framework of the innovative environmental programme designed and implemented by ERGOSE for the rescue and replanting of old olive trees, which come from expropriated land for the construction of railway projects.
To date, more than 850 olive trees have been transplanted – in more than 60 municipalities and public bodies. The cost of the project is financed by the Green Fund.
With this action, ERGOSE participates in the environmental school program of the Schinoussa High School “I adopt olive trees in my school yard“, which is part of the educational network of action “plant and adopt a tree, give breath to the earth”.
The olive trees, which come from an area of the prefecture of Achaia, where ERGOSE railway projects are being constructed, were transported free of charge by the Blue Star Ferries company, as well as the equipment and the necessary personnel.
Referring to ERGOSE’s environmental action, the President and CEO of ERGOSE Mr. Christos Vinis noted: “Environmental protection and sustainable development are at the core of the design of the projects that ERGOSE implements. With a high sense of responsibility towards society, we put into practice our commitment to undertake actions with a positive environmental impact.”
