MORE THAN THOUSAND ACTIVITIES IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY WILL BE HELD WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE "FORESTERS ARE OPENING THE DOORS" CAMPAIGN
The Federal Forestry Agency announces on conduction of "Foresters are opening the door" campaign and within 50 days invites everyone to familiarize themselves with the work of forestry personnel, foresters and forest rangers in all constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
The campaign will be held from February 10 to March 30, 2018 as part of the celebration of the International Day of Forests (established by the UN General Assembly on March 21).
The main goal of the campaign is to demonstrate the openness of the executive bodies authorized in the field of forestry relations, the subordinate organizations of the Federal Forestry Agency, to assist in the vocational guidance of the younger generation and to ensure the inflow of future young professionals into the industry. This campaign is an excellent opportunity to acquaint as many citizens of the country as possible with the work of forestry enterprises, forestry, fire and chemical stations, aviation fire protection stations, forest seed centers, forest managers, forest pathologists, ask questions to those who daily work to preserve and increase the forest - the main wealth of the country.
During this period, at least two institutions will be selected in each of the regions, where excursions will be organized for schoolchildren, students and media representatives. Guests will get acquainted with the technical equipment of the forestry and fire-chemical stations, with modern equipment for performing various tasks. The foresters will demonstrate the work of the equipment, will guide guests through their fields, show different species of trees, teach them to determine their age, tell about the stages of tree growth, how to plant the tree properly and take care of it.
During the excursions, the participants will also learn about the history of creation of the Russian forest service, the wide range of tasks assigned to forestry employees, what threatens the forest and how to deal with these threats, and what everyone can do to protect the forest and its increase.
All-Russian campaign "Foresters are opening the doors" is held for the third time. For two years - in 2014 and 2015 - the campaign was held in all constituent entities of the Russian Federation and received a wide response among non-indifferent citizens. The initiative is supported by many governors, heads of municipalities, public figures and organizations.
Previously, the campaign was held in summer and autumn period and was coincided with celebration of the Day of Forest Workers, but now forestry workers are offering to know how different specialists of the forestry sector are engaged in the forest in winter period.
