On the card Lipetsk region becomes every year more and more green color. Five thousand hectares of the new woods appeared only in five last years, the indicator of woodiness increased to 8,3 percent. And it means that grow and "green lungs" region and together with them zdoroveyut finish and our children


For tekhnogenno overloaded region, and especially its regional center, it not only a question of a pleasant outdoor recreation and sports activities in the fresh air, and an elementary survival of future generations get stronger. The wood can rescue them only. It is known that one its hectare is capable to consume in a year to ten tons of carbon dioxide and to give out to twenty tons of oxygen. Not incidentally chapter of Administration of Lipetsk region Oleg Petrovich Korolev set the ambitious task – to double a woodiness indicator. It is easy to count: it needs to be brought to ideal level of 15 – 20 percent.


it is possible, this purpose could be simpler and quickly achievable, if not 2010 memorable for forestry specialists which became the real test for durability. To restore burned out "green lungs" region suddenly it is impossible even at big desire. From thin saplings trees reach for the sky decades. But the trouble rallied all who loves the Russian wood and is ready to care of it. And the regional and federal authority strengthened attention to branch, constantly increasing the financial help by a hardware of forest areas. Last year full-scale realization of sanitary and recovery actions in the wood that allowed to release a large number of employees of branch for performance of actions of the Forest plan began.


– All consequences of 2010 to us managed to be eliminated, – the head of department of forestry Vasilii Sokolov told. – We completely restored the state forest fund – nine thousand hectares of the burned-out forest plantings. Besides in ten years created on lands of other categories nearly twenty three thousand hectares of the new woods. We still have a reserve for carrying out work on unproductive farmlands, in ravines and beams, other territories. Last year became the final stage in a lesoustroyeniye and design of actions for protection, protection and reproduction of the woods in the territory Lipetsk region. It allows after change of specific structure as a result of fires of 2010 to recognize each tree by sight, as they say. Now, according to data of the Forest plan, we will precisely define, how many and what works it is necessary to carry out. Well and, of course, we will continue to put actively new squares and parks, including in rural settlements. The five-years period of break in forestry which will allow to bring a full order to the woods begins.


in the field of more than 180 thousand forest hectares are served by ten forestries and ten forest areas. Besides, sixteen nursery forests with a total area nearly two hundred hectares work. Naturally, a lot of things in their work depend on security with modern equipment. And on these purposes the regional budget does not feel sorry for means. The bought eight Field cars and four UAZ Farmer all-terrain vehicles arrived recently to Department of Forestry of the Lipetsk region.


on March 13 Vasilii Sokolov handed over keys from cars to directors of Dankovsky, Don, Dobrovsky, Gryazinsky, Zadonsky, Usmansky, Yelets, Terbunsky and Chaplyginsky forest areas. And to some areas got at once on two cars. After a ceremony all began to examine equipment. Passable and maneuverable "Fields" will allow to organize patrol of forests and quickly to arrive to a place where violators of the law boss. And the UAZ Farmer cars converted in small lesopatrulny complexes are intended as well for suppression of forest fires on small squares. In their body the motor-pump, capacity for water of five hundred liters and various fire and technical stock is located.


– For the last two tens years wear of fixed assets and means reached ninety percent, – Vasilii Sokolov told. – Acquisition at the request of the head of the region Oleg Petrovich Korolev Oleg Petrovich Korolev modern and equipped with all necessary cars will allow to increase mobility of forest protection. Now we completely closed need for small lesopatrulny complexes for all forest areas. Besides, earlier we got eighteen tractors and a forest mulcher for cleaning of undesirable vegetation in the woods and along highways. This year we will receive twenty more tractors.


our employees are equipped today with handheld transceivers, special communication covered all area. In the region eighteen cameras which in on-line mode trace a situation in forests are installed. In case of ignition detection the message on the central supervisory console instantly arrives, and the patrol group right there leaves. On a place we make forest violators responsible. Thanks to all these measures we managed to spend for three years a forest fire season without uniform fire, and not only in State forest resource, but also in the woods on lands of other categories. Our task – not to allow ignition, after all always more difficult to extinguish fire.

Now the commission of Rosleskhoz on check of readiness of the region works for us by a fire-dangerous season. It is not necessary to doubt its positive verdict, after all Lipetsk region is in the lead in recent years in branch of forestry of the country. About it tell results of implementation of the production program for last year which up were summed at meeting.

the Deputy head of department Nicholas Yesipov reported


is carried out in full in all directions of silvicultural activity: to reforestation and protective afforestation, cabins of care of the wood, actions for protection and protection of the woods. Last year according to the budgetary plans of volume of reforestation it was necessary to set with forest cultures of 450 hectares, we exceeded this task for 44 hectares.


Forestries prepared more than nine tons of seeds of the wood and shrubby breeds, mainly by I and partially the II class of quality. Thus it was succeeded to reach high level of culture of maintaining nursery economy, an ukhozhennost of cultivated areas and steam fields, security with irrigation systems, including with a drop irrigation. In forest nurseries seeds are seeded on the area more than ten hectares that is five percent more than the planned. Last year 15,7 million saplings of a pine, an oak, a birch, shrubby plants that allows to provide with a stock performance this year of actions for reforestation are grown up.


Forestries carried out a lot of work on elimination of victims and drying-out plantings in the state protective forest strips. Additional budgetary appropriations allowed to intensify clearing of roadside forest belts. Last year continuous and selective sanrubki are executed on 614 hectares, about 80 thousand cubic meter of wood are thus prepared. Improvement and restoration of the roadside woods is planned to finish by 2020. For this purpose it is necessary to clear away 40 thousand hectares of the started grounds. Urgently to bring to them an order — the most important task of forestry specialists. Together with it field-protecting and ovrazhno-frame forest belts are formed. For inhabitants of the regional center work of the Lipetsk city forest area created a few years ago has special value. It carried out the whole complex of actions for protection, protection and reproduction of the woods within the city. Last year here cleared away 125 hectares of burned forests and put 85 hectares of new grounds. Establishing order in the city woods was noticed and positively estimated by locals and the power.


the General indicators for last year positive, however dispersion of figures on forestries the enormous. For example, the Kulikovsky forestry last year prepared business wood nearly a quarter of total amount on management. Not bad Dobrovsky and Don forestries work. And here in Dankovsky forestry development of the settlement cutting area established by the state plan made only seven percent. It was necessary to replace the head. But also in Yelets forestry this indicator is not much better – twelve percent. And cabins through passage here were not carried out at all. All state tasks are provided with absolute financing, but some forestries cannot master the received means.


– in one region there is no such support from the governor as at us, – Vasilii Sokolov told. – Oleg Petrovich Korolev Oleg Petrovich Korolev really supports soul a condition of the woods. The federal center increased the volume of financings this year at once by forty percent. But we should justify the mission. Area at us small, weather conditions, soils and people everywhere identical, and results of work different. Why the most part of the planted trees in some forest areas perishes on the third and even in the first year? Yelets, Dobrovsky and Zadonsky forestries should carry out at the expense of own means addition of forest cultures this spring. And why there is a lot of sick plants in Zadonsk forestry, at the same time in next their Usmansk it is few? By results of spring silvicultural campaign the meeting at which directors of lagging behind forestries will report for each spent state ruble will be held.


Vasilii Sokolov warned them against possible purchase of a landing material outside area at surplus it in our region. The special attention this year needs to be paid to development of silvicultural regulations of forest areas and the Forest plan Lipetsk region, after all it is prospect for the next ten years. As they will be prepared, such in many respects there will be also a result of work in the future. And that can be more noble than a task, than to leave in inheritance to descendants well-groomed and the earth covered with the fine and healthy woods.
