Forest looks monotonous without hardscaping located along highways of the federal and republican importance. Each year workers of forestries do great work regarding creation of sketches, production and establishment of wood facilities, since even such a small object as an arbour should be located in a convenient place and should have a fire safety hose and a litter container nearby. All in all, 135 landscaped recreation places were established in 2013 in local forestries.

An arbour built with care, where one can rest while on the road, causes a sensation of gratitude to foresters and understanding of relevance of such a simple construction on a clearing in the woods.

This year 130 projects of new hardscaping and naturally stylished facilities were submitted for the approval of the Minister of Forestry of the Republic of Tatarstan, Nail Magdeev, and they are already being erected on the sites of the forest fund of the Republic.
