It was June 28, 2007, when a fire broke out in the region of Viotia in Arvanitohoria reached the north side of Mount Parnes, burning a large area of ​​state forest of Attica. Since then, volunteers Greek state and the citizen tried to heal the wounds. The picture today is one of optimism and hope Parnitha general is that the mistakes that led to the disaster is never repeated. "Some 2,200 hectares were burnt in the Parnitha National Park alone.Of this amount, 1800 acres consisting Greek fir [Abies cephalonica] while the rest consisted of Aleppo pine [Pinus halepensis], "Costas Dimopoulos, chairman of the board of directors of the management organization National Forest Park of Parnitha, Kathimerini said. "Over the last four years we have reforested about 500 hectares on 2200 hectares, which was razed by planting approximately 300,000 plants. Another 500 to 600 hectares are planned for reforestation in 2015. These areas have a ground is suitable for reforestation."" The first year after the fire, we planted trees in the Peloponnese Vytina. The nursery of Aghia Triada factory was destroyed in 2007 and had to be rebuilt from scratch, "said Dimopoulos." Today, some 300,000 trees are grown and will gradually be planted in the next three years, while the seeds are collected from other parties that have not burned down. " "Last year we sowed the seeds of fir that we gathered from the forest. In April, to our surprise, we found that the seedlings were well.We covered some of the plants with small nuances, because young trees do not do well in if they are exposed to direct sunlight too. We hope they will make it through the summer so we can continue to sow next year, "said Dimopoulos." The fire did not break out on the slopes of the mountain, but in the background. We learned a lot from this.
