Dendrological trail Vestec

The members of the environmental commission were involved in the creation of the Dendrological trails Vestec, which provides interesting information about tree species throughout our village. If you come across trees in the village tree with sign and QR code, you can read not only a description of the tree, but also interesting facts about its importance and the use of its wood. There are 15 trees so far and you can find them mainly along Vestecká Street and in the leisure area by the pond. We definitely recommend stopping by the mighty oak tree by the sewage treatment plant or the beautiful chestnut or acacia tree on Vestecká Street. Have you ever noticed them?

The idea of establishing a dendrological trail in Vestec was suggested by former commission member Ing. Aleš Trnka, who was inspired by other dendrological trails in the Czech Republic and abroad. You can read an interview with him not only about the dendrological trail in the June issue of Vestecky List 06/2024.
