Subject to the Order of the Ministry, to ensure the safety of coniferous underwood, in the pre-New Year period 145 mobile forest expert teams provided with the transport were created. From December 20 to December 31 they regularly patrolled the forest areas, having made 257 raids. According to the experts of the Forest Fund State Control Department, as a result of the raids the administrative forest offences were found, whereby 14 protocols on the damage amount of 23758 rubles have been made, of which 21,396 rubles have been recovered.
