You will answer for the narrow-leaved fool: Novosibirsk summer residents were warned about new fines

Since March 1, 2026, narrow-leaved loch (Elaeagnus angustifolia) is included in the list of dangerous invasive plants. Landowners are obliged to take measures to prevent the spread of such species, as well as to destroy existing thickets.

This requirement does not apply automatically throughout the country. There is no single federal list of plants that need to be removed from private areas. Specific lists are approved by the regional authorities. In 2026, narrow-leaved loch was included in them, in particular, the Altai Territory, Tatarstan and the Rostov region.

For violation of the requirements for the protection of land from the spread of invasive plants, administrative liability is provided. For citizens, the fine can be up to 50 thousand rubles, for officials - up to 100 thousand rubles, for legal entities - up to 700 thousand rubles.

Earlier, "MK in Novosibirsk" reported that the lawyer warned summer residents about fines of up to 700 thousand for the Canadian goldenrod.
