according to him, these works have already begun, more than 1000 hectares of new forests have been created in Gomel and Brest regions.
"of Planting material we have is enough. We even sell it on the stock exchange now. Basically we sell to foresters of the Russian Federation, it is considerable revenue", - the first Deputy Minister noted.
he recalled that traditionally during the spring work on the creation of new plantations in Belarus held a forest Week. This year it will be held from 14 to 21 April and will coincide with the Republican Saturday.
we have about 10 million inhabitants, you understand how much you can create forest areas, if each capable Belarusian plant several trees, said the expert. Every citizen can participate in this work not only with us, but also, for example, to plant a number of trees in their small homeland. We will provide planting material, Kulik said.
