In Sergiev Posad cleared the shore of the Forest Lake in the framework of the action “Water of Russia”

The flagship event of the All-Russian action “Water of Russia” was held in Sergiev Posad. Residents of the city together with volunteers came to the shore of the Forest Lake - a favorite place of recreation of citizens to rid the territory of garbage.

The environmental initiative was joined not only by volunteers, but also by government representatives: Deputy Minister of Natural Resources Maxim Korolkov, Minister of Ecology of the Moscow Region Tikhon Firsov, head of the district Oksana Yerokhanova and other officials. The company was made up of Russian skier, silver medalist of the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver Alexander Panzhinsky.

The Minister of Ecology of the Moscow region Tikhon Firsov shared the scale of the movement in the region: “This year we have already held 315 events, which were attended by more than 5 thousand people, cleared more than 280 kilometers of coastal strips.” He stressed that the current action is of particular importance, because Sergiev Posad is an important spiritual place in Russia, and keeping it clean and healthy is a common task.
