Tarlos: 10,000 trees planted in Budapest

Some 10,000 spots designated for newly planted trees in Budapest are almost filled, Budapest Mayor Istvan Tarlos said on Wednesday, adding that the daily Nepszava had misquoted him as saying "there was no more room" to plant trees in Budapest. In an interview with the commercial ATV television channel, Tarlos said the local authority has planted 9,947 trees since 2016, averaging at 2,000 trees a year, up from 200-300 before 2010.
