Cutting of pine trees for the New Year has begun in the Lipetsk region

Harvesting of pine trees for the New Year holidays has started in the Lipetsk Region. This year, seven forestry farms plan to cut down 8 thousand trees, according to the press service of the regional forestry department.

Terbunsky leskhoz will cut down the most pine trees - 3 thousand, including 1,400 pine trees at the request of wholesalers. Almost half of the requested quantity has already been shipped to entrepreneurs.

As GOROD48 notes, now the weather is optimal for cutting pine trees. According to experts, in the presence of frost, trees crumble faster, and in the presence of fog faster yellowing.

Earlier "Izvestia" wrote that the 20-year extensive model of forest management has led to the destruction of hundreds of hectares of valuable tree species. The recovery process may take decades, experts say.
