About 25 million trees are planned to be planted in the spring in the forestry enterprises of Minsk region. Andrei Shevelev, head of the forestry and reforestation department of Minsk State Forestry Production Association, BelTA reported.
"Every year we try to plant empty areas, as well as areas that have undergone felling. This time for planting and sowing a little less area was allocated than last year, because there were practically no negative natural factors that could significantly damage the tracts," he said Andrei Shevelev: “About 5 thousand hectares have been allotted for planting and sowing trees in Minsk region, where in the spring we plan to plant about 25 million plantings. These are mostly spruce and pine.”
Most active reforestation is planned to be carried out in Logoisk, Lyubansky and Borisov experimental forestry enterprises.
