Sowing-2026 ended: new forests were laid in the nurseries of Khakassia

Minles Khakassia reported the completion of sowing in forest nurseries. The campaign was successful: the region will receive high-quality planting material for the new forest seasons.

According to the agency, Beya-Forest Service has already grown 240 thousand seedlings with a closed root system. Experts note that such seedlings today are more often used: they have increased survival and resistance to weather changes. In addition, they can significantly reduce the time of forest restoration.

This year, sowing works took place on an area of 8.3 hectares - in Bograd, Tuim, Goryachogorsk, Saralin, Kopiev, Tashtyp and Abazin nurseries. This is more than a year ago – then it was 8 hectares.

In the spring, sowing took place on an area of 4.3 hectares. Pine trees (317.2 kg of seeds) were planted on 3.9 hectares - in Tashtyp, Bograd, Tuima and Kopievo; on 0.4 hectares of Christmas trees - Goryachegorsk (36 kg of seeds). 4 hectares were sown in autumn. So, on 1 hectare in the Abaza nursery will grow Siberian pine trees (1000 kg of seeds), in Tashtyp and Abaz - larch (3 hectares and 360 kg of seeds).

“The breed composition was selected taking into account the natural and climatic features of the region and the tasks of preserving the biological diversity of forest ecosystems,” the ministry said.

The seedlings will be used for artificial reforestation.
