Emerald city

the City authorities seriously undertook gardening of the Crimean capital

do not cut a tree!

in the fall of last year and proceeds still. Housing and communal services workers began with the downtown, and now works are actively conducted in park of a name of Gagarin. Many citizens flay to the city authorities. Pier, such impression as if molding of kroner entrusted woodcutters who without remainder take down everything branches, leaving instead of trees sad stubs and stumps.

Lukashev Igor, head of administration Simferopol:

. We defined what need full replacement as they are dangerous to people. It first of all willows from which at a strong wind huge branches are broken off. Surveyed also willows which sanitation is subject, and carried out their deep cutting. In the spring trees will give new young growth, we will accurately create it. Certainly, today the cut-off trees look not really beautifully, but it is temporary".

By the way, citizens complain also that the Simferopol authorities out of time take out branches from cutting places. As a result of a lot of wood garbage lie on streets and create an unattractive picture. It appears, a problem that at the disposal of administration while is not enough equipment for expeditious export of the cut-off branches. Besides they need to be taken out not simply, but also to overwork. Let's remind that now city authorities do not throw out wood waste, and crush them in special crushers and turn into compost. It as a result will back pour out in parks as fertilizer. In this regard Lukashev Igor called citizens for patience. And also to cooperation. After all purity of the city — business of everyone.

As for trees which should be demolished because of their old age or defeat by diseases, on their place as it was already told, will land the new. In general this year large-scale gardening Simferopol is planned — on these purposes in the city budget about 10 million rubles (apart from additional funds which will be allocated within the federal program "Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment") are provided. Landing is planned for this year more than one hundred trees of valuable breeds, including cedars, Stankievich's pines, plane trees, firs, etc. And it is a question not of saplings, and of adult copies: from 3 to 15 meters in height. Disembarkation will be carried out to two stages: before spring, and then — in the end of the year.

Besides a traditional way of planting of trees, this time the city authorities are going to try methods, characteristic for the French landscape gardening art.

Lukashev Igor:

in Simferopol to land the whole collections different types of firs, cedars and other species of trees. There will be also deciduous trees which are better for putting avenues. It is possible to try to use the kronirovanny trees which have been grown up in a certain form for gardening. For example, round, pyramidal. They too beautifully look in regular parks".

Chapter City administration added that any innovations will take root only after approval by citizens. However thus reminded that it is wrong to estimate a work half. After all creation and registration of parks — business laborious and demanding time: while trees will be planted according to the project while will get accustomed while will take the due form. Generally, it is necessary to wait for the end result, and then already to render a verdict to the city authorities.

Park of dream

Telling about gardening Simferopol, it is necessary to mention destiny of the biggest of city parks — Gagarinsky. Last fall within the same federal program of formation of a comfortable urban environment the first stage of reconstruction for the sum of 40 million rubles here was carried out. Now the municipal administration undertook establishing order among green plantings.

Lukashev Igor:

"We started cleaning Gagarinsky park from those trees which were surveyed and recognized emergency last and years before last. We slowly move away them. However at once I will make a reservation that it does not concern Red Book types — we do not touch them, and it is watched fixedly by Ministry ecology and natural resources of Republic. Now we look what turn out a green framework of park. And soon, I think, in February-March, we will start planting new trees".

By the way, besides new plantings, in park soon. Now, as you remember, walking of dogs in the territory of park is forbidden as special place for this purpose there it is not provided, and owners persistently do not wish to clean after the pets.

Shabanov Alexander, director of association of city parks:

a place closer to Kiyevskaya Street, by the direction to the Moscow ring. We want to make there a film logical platform where it will be possible not only to walk domestic pets, but also to be engaged with them, to train. We will provide there special exercise machines. And, of course, rules of behavior on a platform, in particular, concerning cleaning for animals" will be defined.

By the way, about purity. Still enough dirty and muddy it seems the central pond of Gagarinsky park. By words Shabanov Alexander, know the management of association of city parks about a problem and confirms: the lake really is not cleared yet properly. The matter is that it is very difficult process. In particular, mechanical cleaning is not represented possible: for this purpose it is necessary to adjust heavy machinery which will ruin half-park to water. And to carry ooze through all city to a utilization place — not option. According to the director of parks, it is better to clean a pond after all in the handicraft, manual way.

Shabanov Alexander:

"We have a group of employees which regularly cleans the lake. Besides, last spring the most part of a grass and garbage from a pond was pulled out by divers. Thanks to it it was succeeded to open the bottom sources that intensified water circulation, and it became much purer. So we will clean simply regularly a reservoir bottom from a grass, and within this year it becomes completely pure. It will allow us to deliver the floating fountain with illumination on pleasure to citizens".
