Nagymaros and Modry Kamen are situated in the same oecological area. The local chestnut stands are very famous(involved into NATURA 2000 pogramme) and important but they have been demaged by an introduced pathogen. The chestnut blight fungus is very virulent and the effective control requires local research and continous monitoring. The project partners would like to provide research, extension service and training for local people under the framework of this proposed project.
