“Behind the reeds the alder forest begins. It grows in the lowlands between the sand dunes. The ground is dry. Invasive goldenrod and raspberry bushes grow here.

If you want to know more, read Soňa Mäkka’s report for Denník N (in Slovak) about the Hanšpíle peatland in Záhorie. In October 2023, we organized an excursion to the Hanšpíle peatland , which is one of the project sites, for representatives of the Norwegian donors of the project, as well as for pupils and teachers from Norway and the primary school in Plavecký Štvrtok. Journalists were also present. In addition to Denník N, for example, reporter Marína Debnárová from the Na zelenej adrese TV show. You can watch the TV report on this link from 00:55 (in Slovak).
