The leadership of the Vitebsk region congratulates the workers and veterans of forestry and the woodworking industry on their professional holiday – Forest Worker's Day.
This holiday is a tribute of gratitude and respect to those who are devoted to the forest, care for it, protect, multiply, and rationally use forest resources.
The forest is one of the main riches of our region. Centuries-old coniferous forests occupy 60% of the entire forest-covered area.
It should be noted that such a resource is not only our ecology but also our economy, food, and energy security. Every year, thousands of residents, together with you, increase forest areas during joint environmental campaigns.
Special words of gratitude go to the veterans. Your wisdom, experience, and dedication to the profession have become a reliable foundation for today's successes and the development of the industry.
We wish everyone good health, peace, and well-being!
Sincerely, A. M. Subbotin, Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, and D. V. Demidov, Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Council of Deputies.
