On the eve of the Day of Radio, Television and Communications Workers, the State Forest Resources Agency invited media people to plant a journalists' square - the first in Ukraine. The event was organized by Yulia Davydova. Linden trees were planted in the Potashnia forestry in the Kyiv region.

Yaroslav Yemelianenko was invited as one of their own. There is no such thing as a former journalist: even at CHORNOBYL TOUR he wrote publicly only about what mattered to society - heritage, memory, safety. And that year, during the fires in the Zone, he informed people and the press every day.

"A journalist must be able to do more than write. Today journalists were digging," Yaroslav joked that day. He planted five trees that will delight people for many decades to come.
