Ask, then plant

You can support us in several ways, by donating, volunteering, or getting your school, company, building or community involved in greening and education projects.

The simplest form of support is a donation. From 2,000 RSD and up you receive a T-shirt made of 100% eco cotton with a Zeleni Nar message, and from 5,500 RSD also a sapling that we plant in your name, with the location marked.

You choose the T-shirt size on the form on the Donations page, and you decide for yourself whether to appear on the public list of donors or remain anonymous.

Payments can be made by payment slip, e-banking, or by contacting us directly. All donations are used exclusively for carrying out the program activities set out in our statute.

We provide complete legal and administrative support and technical execution in the field.

Yes. Zeleni Nar does planned greening of the following spaces:

Public spaces:

• School yards
• Parks and playgrounds
• Municipal and state-owned plots
• Neglected urban spaces

Private and semi-private spaces:

• Gardens and yards of family homes
• Company and business grounds
• Tourist and hospitality complexes
• Buildings and residents' associations, entrances, shared courtyards, roofs

When needed, we also design green spaces, select the saplings, educate residents or employees, and put up signs/markers about the planting.

The Zeleni Nar association provides full support to residents' associations that want to green their:

• Shared spaces in front of buildings
• Inner courtyards and passageways
• Flat roofs as green terraces (where technically feasible)
• Vertical walls and facades (climbing vines, pillars, potted greenery)

The process includes:

• An application from the interested building (residents' representative or building manager)
• A site visit by the Zeleni Nar team
• Analysis of the potential and a micro-plan for greening
• Sourcing the saplings, carrying out the planting and caring for the plants afterward
• Training residents in maintenance and sharing educational material

Volunteering is voluntary, flexible and open to all citizens, regardless of age, occupation or prior knowledge. Every volunteer:

• Receives a T-shirt, a badge, a guide and basic equipment
• Is invited to a closed online group for coordinating events
• Takes part in planting, education, logistics, design and promotion, depending on their interests
• Has the opportunity to take part in training and knowledge sharing
