New tags for the trees in Stromovka
There are 203 species of deciduous and 44 species of coniferous trees in Stromovka in Prague, making the former game reserve one of the richest in tree species diversity in the Czech Republic. Many trees in Stromovka now have new labels as part of the project 'Trees you want to know'. 134 nameplates were installed on 94 tree species in the central part of the Royal Game Reserve. Therefore, visitors to Stromovka can now learn about a total of 18 species of oak, for example. One of the white oaks growing in the park is even the oldest of its species in the Czech Republic.
“Stromovka has been a special park since the beginning of the 19th century, with its completely unique collection of woody plants. Now, an opportunity is available for visitors to learn more about them. Even experts will be pleased since many trees are truly unique,” Petr Hlubuček, Prague Deputy Mayor for the environment, says.
Leaflets with maps with the location of important trees and QR codes to download information on your phone are continuously added to the library in the reading room, situated at the base of the former pond. Visitors to the park, students and experts now have the opportunity to expand their knowledge about many trees, including unique species.
