About the call
Shelterbelts of Life is a project of the Peli can live charitable foundation that aims to spread knowledge about shelterbelts and to preserve, restore and create new ones. For the autumn 2026 planting campaign the foundation selected initiatives to plant new or restore damaged shelterbelts, green corridors, protective plantings, ecological alleys, multi-layered areas for birds and pollinators and other nature-based green spaces.
Support is in kind and within the project's capacity: planting material, equipment, scientific support (site assessment, plant selection, planting scheme, care advice) and organisation of the planting event. The package is set individually after the site is assessed. Priority oblasts were Kyiv, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr and Odesa, but applications from other oblasts were also accepted.
Applicants needed a specific site, a clear purpose, a responsible person and the ability to look after the plantings. The foundation's site has no dedicated call page; the terms were spread through the foundation's announcement and partner channels.
