Walk with elements of the quest: in Rafievsky Park opened a unique ecotrope

An event took place in the Moscow district of the capital, which clearly demonstrated that when civic initiative is combined with state support, truly significant projects are born. In Rafievsky Park (an apple orchard located within the boundaries of Rafiev Street - Gromov Street and Beletsky Street) a new ecological trail with a length of 350 m has earned, the correspondent of the Minsk-Novosti agency reports.

This project became the winner of the republican competition “Experience of the best “White Russia” – the heritage of society” under the inspiring title “Creating ecological traditions”. Who if not us?” The successful implementation of the initiative is the painstaking work of the district organization “White Rus”, “Zelenstroy”, the district leadership, teachers, students and parents of secondary school No. 160 named after Hero of the Soviet Union O. A. Losik.

Addressing the guests and participants with a welcoming speech, Igor Tsybin, Chairman of the Moscow District Organization of Minsk ROO “Belaya Rus” noted the special significance of this event.

- Today we open a real space for communication with wildlife, culture education and respect for our common home. This project clearly demonstrates the power of civic initiative: when teachers, schoolchildren, public organizations and the leadership of the district work hand in hand, truly great things are born. Let this trail become a favorite vacation spot for every family of the Moscow district, Tsybin said.

A truly special new path is made primarily by a thoughtful interactive component. There are eight thematic stations on the route: “Ant Farm”, “Belkins of Fun”, “Dinner for Squirrels”, “Giant Oaks”, “Forest Ecosystem”, “Animals of Belarus”, “Dinner for Birds” and “Ecostation”. Each dot turns an ordinary walk into a fascinating quest: participants scan QR codes, complete tasks and gradually collect the cherished word - "ECOLOGY".

The opening of the trail turned into a real district holiday: the organizers prepared a rich program so that the first visit here will be remembered for a long time. They also took care of the multitude. While some mastered the “Open-Air Studio” and created in the workshop “Crazy Hands”, others were charged with energy at sports grounds and during the flash mob.

At the special exhibition “How it was” everyone could see the photo chronicle of the transformation of this corner of nature. Caring activists and school labor groups have invested a lot of effort to Rafievsky Park found a new life.

Now it is not just a place for walks, but a real live audience in the open air, where it will be interesting for both children and adults.
