We wanted our afforestation to have a great public interest and importance. For this we chose a treeless forest land above the village Lopyan. With its afforestation we would create a forest for timber production and fruit, forest for protection, protecting the watershed of Lopyanskata river, forest for recreation to improve the landscape near the village and last but not least - forest for experimentation and research.
Initiated by the students themselves first we made their school beautiful. Formed green spots where we planted saplings of ornamental species - western and eastern tuya, juniper, boxwood, Holly Tree etc.. We collected and brought by river pebbles, which we painted in different colors. With them we formed a variety of colorful alleys in which we planted many flowers. Theold trees to be beautiful also we painted their trunks white. At the end we weed out and swept all the paths in the school yard.
Now we are fully prepared and it’s time to sow treated seeds to grow from them a young forest trees. Weather was also with us and "armed" with all sorts of tools - hoes, shovels, rakes, sod, we twice visited the forest nursery "Sinia Vir".
Very quickly we found that the forest business and afforestation activities are numerous specific and special aspects. In this we were convinced after the trainer explained that you can not just sow the collected seeds.
Like all great and exciting journey begins with one small step in such a way the creation of nice and large forest begins with the collection of small seeds. The trainer told us, however, to grow from them strong and healthy trees we should to collect high quality seeds.
