The forestry specialists are going to proceed to the next stage of sowing in May-June. In total, in 2017 the Forest Breeding and Seed Center plans to grow 12 million pieces of planting stock.

The seedlings are in greenhouses from 4 to 6 weeks. Then they are carried to the fields for the completion of growing (hardening), for further adaptation to their natural conditions. To date, on the fields for hardening there are about 8 million pieces of the ball-rooted planting stock which will be used for the forthcoming spring silvicultural work.

From these meetings children learn a lot of new and interesting things about birds, about what birds come back to us from warm countries, what are the spring concerns for birds.

It is in spring when the birds demonstrate a great miracle – love of the Motherland, overcoming thousands of kilometers when returning to the nesting places. Every spring, the scream of migratory birds for all becomes the song of love for the Motherland.

Those who took part told poems, riddles, proverbs, fairy tales and fables about birds. The inspectors of the sanctuary told the children about the benefits provided by birds, reminded children why the birds should be preserved and protected. Father Frost and Nauruzbika who did not want to give way to each other came to the festive event. Their competition to be the leader was held in the form of games where children actively participated.

Now, all summer the preschoolers may observe the life of feathered friends. At the end of the event the most active children received gifts from Kichke-Tan Nature Sanctuary.
