A total of over 3 thousand hectares have been allocated for planting. Work has already been completed on almost 900 hectares. Reforestation is most actively carried out in the Lepel and Bogushevsk forestry enterprises. The largest volume is planned for the Orsha forestry enterprise, where new plantations will occupy 650 hectares. Moreover, more than half of the plantations this spring will be created using selected planting material.
During the "Forest Week" campaign, which will take place in Belarus from March 28 to April 4, reforestation activities will be deployed in the region across 250 plots covering an area of 500 hectares. Approximately 2.5 million trees are planned to be planted on these plots. Given the general epidemiological situation, a particularly large turnout of participants is not expected. Nevertheless, forestry institutions are ready to provide all those wishing to participate in the campaign with the necessary equipment and planting material.
This year's "Forest Week" is dedicated to the Year of Small Motherland and the celebration of the 75th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, therefore, a special emphasis in the campaign is placed on working with the younger generation and on establishing memorial alleys, including in places of military glory.
