The working trip of Tatarstan foresters to Germany is coming to an end

In the forestry of the republic the projects “Optimization of mixed stands of English oak and small-leaved lime” (OMSK) and “Wood plantations development and use in the Republic of Tatarstan” (LesPlan) are carried out together with German research foresters from Dresden University of Technology. The projects are funded by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture on the basis of the decision of the German Bundestag.

Within the week, Tatarstan delegation, headed by the First Deputy Minister Kharis Musin, visited nurseries, forest enterprises, wood processing enterprises and forest research centers in Saxony. On the last day of visit the delegation became acquainted with the Forest Department of the Dresden University of Technology. Tatarstan foresters laid flowers at the monument to the founder of Tharandt Forestry School, the oldest in Europe, Heinrich Cotta, and took part in a tour to the Forest Botanical Museum in Tharandt.
