In 2016 the Ministry will continue to work on updating the data and taking inventory of parks and garden squares in the Republic of Tatarstan

At year-end 2015 the Ministry has carried out the work on the collection and analysis of information on the creation of new and reconstruction of old parks and garden squares in the municipalities of the republic. According to the inventory, in 2015 in Kazan 32 new urban parks 146 hectares in area were laid down, such public entertainment places as the green area on the Lebyazhye Lake, garden square behind the Mir cinema, the Kryliya Sovetov Park, the garden square in the Sovetskaya Square, garden square at the intersection of Daurskaya and Karbyshev streets were restored; the Fame Garden Square and the Pobedy Park were renovated. The special emphasis was put to the origin and quality of planting stock. For landscaping, the species growing in our soil and cultivated in the local forest nurseries were used. Such species are small-leaved linden, mountain ash, silver birch, blue spruce, pine, Norway maple, poplar (balsamic, pyramidal and hybrid No.38 with no fluff). Among the shrubs there are lilac, acacia, barberry, spiraea, brier, japonica, bird cherry, cranberry, wild apple and others. The trees and shrubs used for creation of parks and garden squares are resistant to smoke and gases, and at the same time have high decorative properties. When choosing one or another species, such factors as frost resistance, durability, high tolerability of cutting, rapid growth and crown density were taken into account.

In 2016 the Ministry will continue to update information and inventory of parks and garden squares on the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan.
