Krkonoše National Park launches project to revive rare silver fir tree

The administration of the Krkonoše National Park have launched a project to bring back the rare silver fir to the local forests. For the first time ever, they’ve begun collecting grafts from these majestic trees to protect them and preserve their genetic diversity for the future.

Abies Alba, commonly known as the European silver fir, is a large evergreen coniferous tree native to the mountains of Europe, including the Krkonoše Mountains in north-eastern Czechia.
