Foresters and students of the Forestry Department of KSAU cleared the forest plantation in Derbyshki
“Clean Forests of Tatarstan" campaign took place in Kazan in Derbyshki rural settlement. Specialists of the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Tatarstan together with workers of the Prigorodnyi forest district and students of the Forestry Department of the Kazan State Agrarian University cleared the forest area from empty plastic and glass bottles, plastic bags, disposable dishes. 8 cubic meters of solid household waste were collected by joint efforts. The forest near Derbyshki village is a forest-park zone and a place for active visits of local population and townspeople. Apparently, therefore, forest site is very polluted. It should be noted that forestry students conscientiously treated the event and took an active part in cleaning up the forest area. By this campaign, future foresters wanted to draw attention to the garbage problem in the forests and the careful attitude to nature. "If a person removes at least one bag of garbage, he will think a hundred times next time whether to throw an empty bottle in the forest or not. He will tell his friend about it, and those will tell his friend and thus the situation will improve. We really hope that people will stop littering in the forests", the students noted.
