Heavy forest crop

In Leskhozskaya Secondary School of the Arsky Municipal District the results of the campaign “Forest Crop” have been summed up. The event to collect cones of conifers and harvesting seeds for the restoration of future forests was organized by the experts of Arsky Forest Establishment with the Council of the school forestry unit. Following the results of the campaign, 1349 kg of pine cones and spruce have been gathered. The most active in gathering the forest crop were the pupils of the 10, 6, 7, 4, and 8 grades. “An exceptionally fruitful year turned out to be in our forests, it would be inexcusable to use the generous gift of nature for restocking the conifer seeds. The coniferous forests are being cut down at a fast pace, the natural increase is not enough to compensate for losses, that’s why the seed stock is required for reproduction,” said the head of the school forestry unit Gaynanova F.N. The young foresters have passed the gathered cones to the Surnarskoye District Forestry.
