In the months of February and March we are collecting in selected stands of the Forest Management Units Čalovo, Gabčíkovo and Šamorín, located near the original channel of the Danube River, root samples for the investigation and subsequent testing of the application of mycorrhizae in the cultivation of seedlings that will be used for the restoration of natural forest stands.
