Thanks to these efforts, the city has risen to become one of the three most forested capitals in Europe, according to Magdalena Młochowska, a Warsaw City Hall official in charge of green spaces.

O to, aby zieleni w @warszawa nie brakowało, dbać będzie od dziś nowa dyrektorka koordynatorka – Magdalena Młochowska. To osoba bardzo zaangażowana w sprawy miasta, która dobrze zna stolicę i jestem przekonany, że świetnie się sprawdzi w nowej roli. pic.twitter.com/uoUlhJOnVk
