Prague City to Plant Nearly 200 Trees on Letná
Prague Morning

The Prague municipality plans to plant 197 trees and shrubs in the western part of Letná Plain and along Milady Horákové Street.
Additionally, the city aims to reduce the sandy area near the parking lot, replacing part of it with a gravel lawn.
However, Prague 7 officials are pushing for a broader study on the transformation of the entire plain, arguing that the city’s current plan is too limited in scope.
New Green Spaces and Bosquets
Prague has already commissioned a study to evaluate how tree planting near the entrance to the Dejvický tunnel could be designed without disrupting large public events.
The study proposes a double row of trees along Milady Horákové Street and a gravel lawn to replace part of the sandy surface, making the area more resilient to occasional vehicle traffic.
In addition, two bosquets — small groves of trees and shrubs — will be planted opposite each other in the grassy area. These green enclaves will create semi-private spaces for various activities while ensuring they do not interfere with major gatherings.
According to the proposal, the bosquets will be spacious enough to accommodate two or three circus tents with diameters of up to 32 meters.
The city has selected 153 trees and 44 shrubs for planting, carefully choosing species that can withstand heat and drought.
Prague’s Million-Tree Goal
During the last election cycle, the Prague government set an ambitious goal of planting one million new trees by 2026. So far, around 600,000 trees have been planted, although the pace is slowing down.
Most of the new trees have been placed in forests and parks on the city’s outskirts, rather than in densely populated areas.
