Rosa Khutor, led by scientists, began planting wild fruit trees for bears.
It is expected that wild gardens will become a central component of the plan to prevent wild animals from entering people. Pears, apples, cherries and nuts form the basis of the diet of bears in the mountainous terrain of Sochi.
The project is implemented by Rosa Khutor together with scientists from the Sochi Federal Budgetary Institute.
The practical phase of the program began on November 10 at the Passalok cordon in the Sochi National Park. More than 100 seedlings of local species of fruit trees and shrubs were planted here: Caucasian pear, oriental apple tree, bird cherry and walnut. This year it is planned to establish another fruit garden in an area of 3.2 dunams at an altitude of 1,380 meters, where 400 seedlings will be planted.
