More than 3 thousand pine trees were planted in the forestry of Sevastopol

The Sevastopol forest fund has been replenished with new coniferous plantations. On the territory of the Sevastopol forestry, specialists planted over 3 thousand Crimean pine seedlings on an area of ​​1 hectare. This is part of a large-scale program to restore and preserve forest ecosystems in the region.

Preparations for planting began last year: the area was deeply loosened and then plowed to improve the soil structure. This year, the work continued — the soil was plowed twice and disced to a depth of 12 cm. This agrotechnical technique, using special disc implements, allows not only to break up soil clods and mix the soil evenly, but also to suppress weeds, creating optimal conditions for the growth of young trees.

Two-year-old Crimean pine seedlings were chosen for planting — the most viable planting material. They were placed in rows with an interval of 1 meter between plants and 3 meters between rows, forming forest planting strips up to 200 meters long— reported the press service of the Government of Sevastopol.

Repeated cycles of soil disking are planned for this site over the next seven years to maintain favorable growth conditions. In total, in 2025, forest crops were added to almost 42 hectares in Sevastopol, which became an important contribution to the environmental sustainability of the region.
