Entering a forest with an axe to chop down a Christmas tree is strictly prohibited by law.
To ensure that the holiday does not result in a hefty fine, it is important to remember: the forest fund is under strict protection.The total cost of one illegally harvested tree for an individual offender will be 6.2 basic units, which currently amounts to 260 Belarusian rubles.
It is cheaper to legally purchase a New Year's tree at designated sales points.
