Green Revival: How Forests Are Reviving in the Mozhaisk District

In the Mozhaisky district, impressive environmental results of the year are summed up. The planned reforestation work here is fully completed, and the result speaks for itself: 1,336 hectares of green space were restored by forestry and caring residents. These are not just statistics, but a real contribution to the future ecology of the region.

There is a lot of work behind this massive figure. Specialists and volunteers underwent a full cycle of work: from careful soil preparation and planting of young seedlings to painstaking care of the growing forest and sanitation. Such an integrated approach allows you to be sure that young trees will take root and over the years will turn into noisy oak trees and pine forest.

A special reason for pride is the activity of the residents themselves. Ecological and patriotic events in the district have become a good tradition, uniting volunteers, schoolchildren and employees of enterprises. A striking example of national unity was the large-scale action “Forest of Victory”, which gathered more than a thousand people. The participants were not afraid to take up the restoration of a complex site near the village of Krasnovidovo: where in 2016 a destructive tornado completely destroyed the spruce forest, today life is again boiling. New trees were planted on the site of the wasteland.

Residents of the district do not stop there. This year alone, three more major environmental events took place. In the spring, young spruces were planted in the Borisov forestry, in the autumn volunteers took the baton near the village of Igumnovo. A real gift for everyone was October - in Troparevsky Forestry, the grand opening of the Foresters Park took place. This new recreation area was created by joint efforts: schoolchildren and locals joined the planting of trees here, laying the foundation for a future favorite walking place.
