On November 2, 2023 – The most recent announcements from the mayor state that some 8,000 new trees will be planted throughout the City of Zagreb over the course of the next five months.

According to Poslovni Dnevnik, 46 different kinds of seedlings will be used in the planting of these new trees, and the City of Zagreb plans to fund the project in its whole with almost four million euros.

Eight thousand trees means that we’ll have one new tree for every 100 inhabitants in the City of Zagreb this season. We’re going to continue this pace next season as well. Honey maple will be the most represented species that we will plant, but there will also be ash, black pine, and ornamental cherry trees, which I believe will make many people happy. Of course, these will primarily be planted along city avenues and main roads, as well as in green areas, especially in parks where there were no trees or there weren’t enough trees,” explained the mayor.

I think this news is written well because it tells the news I would say directly. It catches you with the title of the 8000 trees, which is a large number. It tells the news in an organized way in my opinion. It explains when where how about the trees they will be planting. I like how the article also used effective quotes from important people that add strength to the story. They do this by explaining how the major Tomislav Tomašević feels about this and quote him on this process which makes it feel authentic like it’s coming straight from the source.
