In 2024, more than 4.5 thousand trees were planted on 24 major Moscow highways. Almost the same amount of work is planned for this year. One of the main greening sites will be Leninsky Prospekt, said Sergei Sobyanin in his blog.
“Green walls of trees protect city residents from dust and noise coming from the roadway. Large spreading lindens and elms, apple and bird cherry trees, oaks and birches give a unique charm to any, even the most ordinary street. That is why we are actively landscaping the outbound highways and other major streets of Moscow, where until recently there was a clear lack of greenery,” the Moscow Mayor noted.
The straight and wide Leninsky Prospekt stretches for 14 kilometers — from the Garden Ring to the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD). It is quite difficult to green it in one year. In addition, the metro is currently being built in the middle part of the highway. Nevertheless, from 2021 to 2023, almost 1.6 thousand trees were planted on Leninsky Prospekt, mainly in areas closer to the MKAD.
In 2025, they plan to carry out comprehensive landscaping of the historical part of Leninsky Prospekt — between the Garden Ring and Gagarin Square, where over 400 trees will be planted. Most of them will appear on wide sidewalks and create a green wall between the roadway and the facades of residential buildings. Some of the trees will decorate Kaluga Square and Gagarin Square, which will become more comfortable thanks to this.
“For Leninsky Prospekt, we chose mature trees aged 20–35 years, four to eight meters high: linden trees “Pallida” and elms “Novy Gorizont”. They adapt perfectly to the peculiarities of the Moscow climate: they steadfastly endure harsh winters and hot summers, and are resistant to strong winds,” Sergei Sobyanin emphasized.
Planting work began about two weeks ago. You will be able to admire the result quite soon.
