An environmental campaign "Forest Week-2018" was launched today in Tatarstan
Employees of the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic cleared the forest from debris, windfall and dead trees in the plantation in the Derbyshki village of Vysokogorsky district forestry. This event was held within the framework of the implementation of the Order of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tatarstan of August 23, 2018 No. 2239-r "On implementation of the environmental protection campaign "Forest Week-2018".
The place for cleaning was chosen not accidentally. In this territory of the state forest fund there is a sanatorium and summer cottages, and coniferous forest plantation is a favorite recreation place for local residents. Garbage, as a rule, is left here. Empty bottles of strong drinks, plastic bags. In a few hours the foresters managed to collect a whole garbage truck.
The Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Tatarstan has extensive experience in organizing and conducting such campaigns. Over the past 8 years, as part of the environmental campaign “Clean forests of Tatarstan” a lot of work has been done to clean up the litter of forests. In particular, this year solid household waste, dead wood and fallen trees were already collected and transported in the amount of 2.5 thousand cubic meters in Tatarstan. "Forest Week-2018" will be held from 8 to 14 September, within the framework of which 132 events are planned to be held in the republic.
