European Green Belt Days

Each year in September, the European Green Belt Days showcase the heart and soul of the European Green Belt: peace and conservation. From north to south, people come together with passion and creativity to celebrate the joint initiative.

Through diverse events and activities, organizers highlight unique landscapes, regional treasures, and unite cultures across borders. Organizations collaborate, share knowledge, and engage the public to raise awareness about the rich biodiversity and cultural heritage of the European Green Belt.

Since 2014, when the European Green Belt Association was founded, these celebrations have united the community in a shared commitment to cross-border cooperation and conservation.
