“DĖK’ui” hangers

In the library, in the Presidential Palace, at school, and in the retirement community. In various places around the capital, one by one, “DĖK’ui” hangers are being installed, inviting people to exchange good clothes that they no longer need. Anyone who wants to exchange clothes in their workplace, learning or leisure space, or in their neighbourhood can contribute to the development of “DĖK’ui” hangers. To do so, please send an email to info@vaatc.lt or the Waste Culture Facebook account.

In this self-working space, pupils can put their creative ideas into practice and develop independently.

Ozo Park

An example of urban, nature-friendly grassland mowing. At Ozo Park, a grassland ecosystem-friendly mowing method, which pleases visitors and does not inconvenience them, is used. The area is divided into zones — an intensive mowing zone and another zone that is mowed only once a year. Various slopes, lake shores and areas under lime trees are covered with meadow vegetation which is as pleasant as flower beds.

Jomanto Park

An example of forest ecosystem-friendly park planning.

Jomanto Park is divided into two parts based on different spatial planning principles. The forest is divided into an active western zone for active recreation and a passive eastern zone for slow walks and ecosystem protection. The eastern part of the park contains parts of the forest that have some of the characteristics of a core forest habitat. Jomanto Forest Park is worth taking as a model for taking care of other wooded areas.

Community gardens

From 25 April, or Saint Mark’s Day, Lithuanians would start working in their gardens and plant carrots first. Urban gardening is also gaining popularity in Vilnius. In Pilaitė, city residents have been cultivating the “Bed of Ideas” for five seasons, while in Sapieha Palace Park, the residents of Antakalinis now have both outdoor beds and a hydroponic garden that is open all year round. Carrots and beetroots are grown even in the Old Town.

Naujininkai Park

An area of natural grassland and wild groves.

Any overloading of the area with superfluous objects is avoided in the park. The principle of less is more is respected. The park has an apple orchard open to the public.

Žirmūnai Park

Žirmūnai Park is a comfortable place to relax, but it is also a testing ground for biotechnical instruments.

Žirmūnai Park (or Žirmūnai BIOTECH Park) is the implementation of the idea that human intervention can improve the environment, i.e. make it favourable to biodiversity. The park uses unusual solutions such as weaving branches into fences, protecting dead trees, etc. The park’s green spaces are designed to purify existing natural values.

Water pot

The network of water fountains in public service organisations is a significant sustainability initiative, helping to promote healthy habits, increase water consumption, and reduce the use of plastic. Environmentally friendly ways offered to residents and visitors to the city to refresh themselves with quality water from deep boreholes in Vilnius contribute to our commitment to a green city.
