Boranka awarded with "The European Citizen"
May 28, 2021
The Office of the European Parliament in Croatia organized a ceremony on the occasion of the awarding of the European Citizen Award for 2020 to the Boranka campaign of the Croatian Scout Association.
This is a campaign that began in 2018 in response to the catastrophic fires in Dalmatia. So far, more than 7,000 volunteers have taken part in it, planting more than 85,000 new trees in the burned areas. Thus, Boranka became the largest volunteer action of afforestation of burned forrests in Europe. The award was received on behalf of the Croatian Scout Association by President Lidija Pozaić Frketić and campaign coordinator Boranka Dan Špicer.
