| Description | The town of Lučenec has created a Municipal Orchard on a former vineyard hill near the urban area, transforming it into a multifunctional green space with social and environmental value. The orchard is planted with old regional fruit tree varieties from Novohrad, serving as a publicly accessible demonstration site where nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation can be observed. Measures such as expanding green spaces, planting diverse indigenous species, capturing rainwater, and using energy more efficiently contribute to mitigating environmental impacts, improving the local microclimate, and promoting resilience.
Beyond its ecological role, the orchard offers residents a new attractive space for recreation, excursions, and environmental education. By combining green infrastructure with public engagement, it encourages healthier lifestyles, reduces consumerism, and fosters closer connections with nature. A highlight of the orchard is an apidom hosting eight bee colonies, which supports pollination, enhances biodiversity, and provides visitors with unique experiential activities blending relaxation, sensory immersion, and nature therapy.
Aligned with Mission objectives, the Lučenec Municipal Orchard supports biodiversity in an urban area, demonstrates sustainable rainwater management solutions, improves microclimatic conditions, and raises public awareness about the importance of adapting to climate change. |
