“I really like here, the program is interesting and rich”, said Ilzat Latipov, a member of the “Nurgali Onyklary” association of the Leskhoz Secondary Educational School of the Sabinskiy district, sharing his impressions. - The competition itself was rather complicated. For example, we studied some forest pests, and here there were others. In general, I am part of the school forestry for 5 years. I love the forest and everything connected with it”.
