30 Thousand Acorns Meet the Soil in Erciş

The Erciş Municipality Park and Gardens Directorate, Erciş Municipality Ecology Commission, Van Ecology Association (Van Eko-Der), and our co-chairs participated in an important ecological project in the Hostêkâr Neighborhood. In order to strengthen the oak ecosystem, which is critical for the sustainability of nature, 30 thousand acorns were brought together with the soil in the region.

The campaign carried out by the Van Ecology Association with the slogan "Collect an acorn, plant an acorn" continues to grow with the participation and solidarity of the public. The association aims to connect a total of 700 thousand acorns with nature.

Many citizens participated in the event, and the planting of acorns became a strong example of nature defense and social solidarity.

Message of Ecological Solidarity from Our Co-Chairs

In a statement made after the event, our co-chairs emphasized that protecting nature is a fundamental responsibility of municipalities and stated:

“The oak is a symbol of resilience, wisdom, and life. Today, we are not just planting an acorn here; we are planting breath for our future and life for our soil. In a period where ecological destruction is increasing every day, protecting and revitalizing nature is our greatest responsibility. Doing this work together with our citizens further strengthens our solidarity with nature. Our ecological efforts will continue decisively to make Erciş a greener, more livable city.”
