Representatives of the Presidium, scientific organizations, the Belarusian Women’s Union, and a trade union organization headed by Chairman of the Presidium of the NAS of Belarus Uladzimir Gusakow worked on the territory of the Maladziechna Experimental Production Forestry. 14 thousand pine and birch saplings have been planted on more than two hectares.
Summing up the action, Chairman of the Presidium of the NAS of Belarus Uladzimir Gusakow stressed: "Scientists could not stay away from the wonderful reforestation campaign that is taking place throughout the country. We did a very useful thing today. It is symbolic that the forestry is a long-standing partner of scientific organizations of the Academy. This is a testing ground for scientific research by our biologists."
The Veradowski Bor reserve of local importance, which is located next to the territory where scientists worked, was created based on the results of research by the Institute of Experimental Botany of the NAS of Belarus in order to preserve the complex of South taiga coniferous forests.
