A dedicated team of divers is undertaking an ambitious project to cleanse the Neris River in Lithuania, with the goal of removing all accumulated waste by the following year. This extensive cleanup operation is a joint effort between the real estate development company Darnu Group and a specialized team of Lithuanian hydrologists and divers.
Building on the success of last year's efforts, which saw an 8-kilometer stretch of the river cleared, the team has set a similar target for the current year. The second phase of the Neris River cleanup within the city of Vilnius will concentrate on a specific section, extending from the Verkiลณ Trinapolio church to the Baltojo tilto (White Bridge).
