Almost half of century – in the forest industry!

There is a large plot of unexplored forest. On the small scale map there is a large green spot. There are no roads, no landmarks. The forest managers make such forests public.

It is unlikely that a person who appreciates the beauty of nature and hears its unique sounds will be able to stay indoors for a long time. Such travel lovers usually graduate forestry educational institutions. Such a person is Felix Volkov who graduated Yoshkar-Ola Institute, specializing in forestry, and according to allotment came to Kazan Board of Forest Management. After several months of work, he was called up for military service. Having served the specified term in the Soviet Army, Felix Volkov returned to Kazan Board of Forest Management.

His first facilities for management of forest resources of the country were the green areas of the Perm Region, Buryatia, Irkutsk region. In subsequent years, Felix Volkov had a chance to manage forests of Chuvashia, Bashkortostan, Chelyabinsk Region and Sverdlovsk Region.

Since 1975, in Tatarstan the next stage of forest management began. The Kuibyshevsky Forest Establishment (now – the Bolgarskoye Forestry) was the first for Felix Volkov where he worked as a taxator. Later, as an engineer, he repeatedly managed many forestries of the Republic of Tatarstan (Menzelinskoye, Cheremshanskoye, Nurlatskoye, Sabinskoye, Isleytarskoye, Zainskoye, Prigorodnoye, Yelabuzhskoye, Aznakaevskoye, Aksubaevskoye, Agryzskoye, Mamadyshskoye) by conducting an audit of the forests. Three times he was involved in forest management of the Laishevskoye (1980, 1992, 2014) and Nizhnekamskoye (1985, 1995, 2005) Forestries.

In 2015 Felix Volkov went to field works on forest inventory in Aksubaevskoye Forestry. After that he drew up the explanatory notes in respect of this forestry. Today Felix Volkov continues to work in the Kazan branch of Roslesinforg. As the leading engineer he takes personal charge of performing the complex jobs requiring perseverance and a lot of experience. These tasks are the writing of forest management plans, explanatory notes and regulations on forestry. The main purpose of Felix Volkov is the education of young generation, forestry workers, especially those who love and appreciate their profession – taxator.

Today, on September 28, 2016 Felix Volkov celebrates his 70th anniversaryd. We congratulate him on the anniversary! We wish him you good health, happiness, inexhaustible energy and many happy returns of the day!
