The leadership of the Vitebsk region has joined the republican campaign "Give the Forest New Life!", which is taking place at the Surazh Forestry.
On an area of 1.4 hectares, the head of the region, along with his deputies and heads of structural divisions, will plant about 10,000 forest crops – pine seedlings and spruce saplings.
– The Vitebsk region has joined the campaign "Give the Forest New Life!", which is important for the entire country. I am sure that this is just the beginning, nevertheless, so many people have already joined the initiative. For three years, not only in spring but also in autumn, we have been helping to create a new forest. It is pleasant to see how the crops we planted earlier have grown and are gradually turning into trees, – noted Alexander Subbotin. – Joint work has always united Belarusians. And in the Year of Improvement, I want our land to become more beautiful and comfortable.
The Director of the Surazh Forestry, Dmitry Podleshchuk, noted that, by tradition, with the onset of spring, everyone gets involved in this noble cause.
– We are creating forest crops for future generations. To grow a good forest, it is necessary to prepare the site, cultivate the soil, plant high-quality planting material, and then properly care for it for seven years, – noted Dmitry Podleshchuk.
The republican campaign "Give the Forest New Life!" will last until April 12.
