Over 14 years, 159 million trees were planted in the Moscow region and lost forests were restored. Now they want to actively involve more families with newborns in planting.
Chairman of the Regional Forestry Committee Alexei Larkin spoke about the results and plans. The works continue in three directions: restoration of forests, implementation of sanitary measures and participation of residents in planting.
During these years, reforestation covered 63 thousand dunams. This year the forest planting plan was fulfilled - 916 dunams, three million trees were planted.
The authorities are also preparing a family feature: parents will be able to receive a certificate through the state services and plant a tree in honor of the birth of a child.
The mechanism is planned to be ready by the spring of next year.
In 2027, they want to carry out sanitary works on 4,000 dunams, paying special attention to forests near roads and settlements.
