In 2025, Kyiv's forestry enterprises made remarkable strides in restoring green spaces by planting over 234,000 seedlings and establishing 9.1 hectares of new forest areas. The majority are coniferous species, totaling more than 179,000.
According to the Department of Environmental Protection of the KCSA, nearly 80,000 seedlings were planted in the autumn alone, around 52,000 of which are coniferous. The primary species include oak and Scots pine, which will ensure the sustainable development of the capital's forests. In just a few years, these seedlings will grow into young trees, forming the foundation of a rejuvenated forest.

In one year, the following were planted:

• KP “Sviatoshyn Forestry” — 149.4 thousand seedlings
• KP “Darnytsia Forestry” — 41.4 thousand seedlings
• KP “Koncha-Zaspa” — 43.4 thousand seedlings

“We continue our efforts to restore the forest cover: in the context of a full-scale war, when Ukraine's environment suffers significant losses, our task is to preserve and enhance Kyiv's green resources. The forestry enterprises utilize seedlings cultivated in local nurseries, which are better adapted to the urban climate. This is painstaking work, and the results will be visible in a few years when these trees become part of the capital's green zones,” said Acting Director of the Department Pavlo Ivanov.
It is noteworthy that the total area of land managed by Kyiv's forestry enterprises within the city is nearly 32,000 hectares.
