Volunteers planted 15 pine saplings in the Tomsk region.
The planting took place as part of the traditional campaign of the LesProsvet project, whose goal is to fill gaps in the forest map and try to restore the percentage of felled and damaged trees.
This time, 350 Tomsk residents joined the planting, the project manager told a NeMoskva journalist. Julia Zabelina.
"There are a lot of active people in our project. Everyone was following the approval process and waiting for this landing, — she explained Zabelina. - We held the first organized planting on May 1, 2021, but this year spring was delayed. Planting was scheduled for May 27. So, the questions "Well, when, well, when?" continued for a month.
Julia She clarified that the LesProsvet team planted 75 trees in total during the project. All the seedlings came from LesProsvet's own conifer nursery.
"Every year, the number of interested people only increases. Families with children, Silver Volunteers, students, schoolchildren, and even very young children come. Furthermore, a strong team is forming around the project, making the organization even stronger," says Zabelina.
In addition to traditional pine plantings, LesProsvet conducts "forest" lessons in schools, which helps engage children in caring for nature, and also plants trees on the grounds of children's institutions.
