Opening of the Yard as Part of the Our Yard Project
Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, founder and head of the IDEA Public Association Leyla Aliyeva took part in the opening of the yard, as well as in the tree planting campaign held as part of the event. During the event, which took place on the eve of the New Year holiday, a festive evening was organized for the young residents of the landscaped yard, and festive gifts were presented. The celebration, filled with a musical and entertainment program, created a pleasant festive mood for the children and gave them moments full of joy.
The main goal of the Our Yard project is to make the yards of the capital environmentally clean and beautiful, restore greenery, create a full-fledged recreation environment, and provide safe and comfortable living conditions for residents.
Landscaped yards take into account the comfortable movement of people with disabilities, create favorable conditions for the development of children of all age groups, organize leisure activities for young people, encourage them to engage in sports, and also aim to create a football stadium with artificial turf, a chess field, various sports facilities, and children's playgrounds. In addition, 16 summer houses, numerous benches, birdhouses, and cat houses were installed in the yards. Moreover, new lighting poles and surveillance cameras were installed in the yards, facades and building blocks were completely renovated, asphalt and roofing were updated, and power lines were rearranged.
In addition to restoring existing greenery in the yards, 650 different species of trees, 19,100 shrubs were planted, and a green barrier was laid on an area of 3542 square meters. In addition, "green fences" were created around the yards by planting English ivy and other climbing plants to prevent air pollution.
For your information, within the framework of the Our Yard project, implemented since 2017 at the initiative of the founder and head of IDEA Leyla Aliyeva, 149 public areas have been renovated and landscaped.
