April 25, 2022 in the Orenburg region landed 8,000 pine seedlings with the support of the Audemars Piguet Foundation

In the Orenburg region this spring, one forest became more. Near Novosergievka, volunteers of the federal project Plant the Forest of the Ecological Movement of ECA landed 8,000 seedlings of pine. We had to plant pine trees where since 2008, forestry work has been underway. Specifically on our site, the forest was planted last year, but the Orenburg region is complicated in this regard. The hot summer can negate the whole efforts of people. But every year Orenburg Forestry continues to plant forests. It is very important. In connection with the change in the climate, new steppes and deserts appear on our planet - the lands degrade. For Orenburg, this is a big problem. When we recruited volunteers, representatives of the construction company contacted us to participate in landings. Why? In the middle of the field, they built a beautiful modern microdistrict. But the biggest problem for newcomers is wind and dust. Only the forest can solve it. It is able to concentrate precipitation, create a comfortable and moist micro-climatic environment, reduce wind power at the level of the squirrel of air and make the climate less arid, that is, less dry and not similar to the deserted one. If you plant the types of trees resistant to arid climate, they will help to level the average daily temperatures and sharply slow down the operation. Therefore, as part of the project, we launched the subproject of the Southern Forest Belt of Russia, which includes the Orenburg region.

Volunteers and landing arrived from Orenburg, Buzuluk and Novosergievka. The head of the district, Alexander Lykov, came directly from the meeting, and as he was - he went in a suit, with Kolesov’s sword to plant a future forest along with other volunteers. This is a feature of forest plantings: in a field with a shovel and seedlings in the wind, in the rain or under the sun, people become equal in their desire to plant their forest. They make simple, repeated movements many times: a puncture of the earth, a seedling into a hole, a turn of a shovel taking roots.

For our part, our task is to create the most comfortable conditions for volunteers and foresters on landing. Gloves, tools, household camp, hot tasty buckwheat crumpled with mushrooms, sweets for tea. In each detail, we try to take into account environmental requirements. The gloves are assembled and erased for the next planting, reusable dishes are washed, for harmful disposable plastic on our plantings there is no room. It would seem - trifles. But it is important not only to plant a new forest. It is important that it grew on clean earth, without a mountain of garbage, even when several dozen people plant it. And it is very pleasant when people who came to land also mark these details and “take something” into their usual life. After all, it is not at all difficult to foresee a separate set of reusable dishes in everyday life for a trip to nature. On that day, we planted more than two hectares of the future pine forest.

We are grateful to the Ministry of the Orenburg region and the local Don forestry for hospitality and assistance in organizing this work. Separate gratitude to each volunteers who arrived at the landing of the forest. Each of them, leaving, was about to be with us the next time. And the project to plant the forest will certainly return in Orenburg this fall. And, then, to be a forest and good!
