In the Lipetsk region cleared the park of the old Muromtsev estate

In the village of Balovnevo, Dankovo district, an eco-subbotnik “Heirs of History” was held. In the improvement of the territory of the former Muromtsev estate, a deputy of the Lipetsk Regional Council, director of Dankivsk school No. 1 Natalia Blinova participated. Together with colleagues and local residents, she helped clear the park of debris and fallen foliage, as well as pruning trees.

The action took place within the framework of the regional project Ecodesant, which started in October. It brings together residents, volunteers, representatives of authorities and organizations to improve public spaces and preserve natural territories.

During Saturday, Natalia Blinova told the participants about the history of the manor park. According to her, in the XVIII-XIX centuries it was known for its oaks: the height of some trees exceeded 40 meters. In the park there were alleys called Main Nikolaevskaya, Alexandrovskaya and Catherine.

Particular attention was paid to the territories around the century-old oak tree. It is associated with the legend of the visit of Empress Catherine II – this tradition is considered part of local history.
