Preserving Tree Alleys for Biodiversity in Kurzeme and North Lithuania

Common territorial challenge (s) that will be tackled by the project

Kurzeme in Latvia and Northern Lithuania, which share a common natural heritage, both face similar challenges in protecting tree alleys as important elements of biodiversity and green infrastructure. These alleys provide various essential ecosystem services, including air purification and climate regulation, and habitats for various species. However, they are increasingly threatened by urbanization, lack of maintenance and insufficient public awareness of their ecological value.

Project objective

The project aims to improve the protection, maintenance, restoration of tree alleys and to carry out an inventory of tree alleys in Kurzeme and Northern Lithuania as well as to strengthen the capacity of local municipalities, improve knowledge and raise public awareness in preservation of tree alleys and biodiversity.

Planned activities

The project key outputs include the creation of the GIS databases of alleys in Kurzeme and Northern Lithuania for planning and decision-making, restoration and maintenance of 12 old alleys in towns and parks in both countries, and the creation of a pop-up alley in Kuldīga as an innovative urban greening solution. Capacity building of municipal staff will be ensured through study visit and seminars on maintenance and restoration of tree alleys. Participatory GIS survey, lectures and seminars will also be organised to increase public awareness and involvement. Cross-border cooperation is key to this project, enabling best practice sharing, joint problem solving and data harmonisation. By strengthening biodiversity, enhancing urban environments, and building local capacity, the project fosters a greener, more sustainable region with lasting benefits to both countries.
