Alley of blue spruces planted near Kazan-Arena stadium

On April 25, employees of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tatarstan took part in All-Russia campaign “The forest of Victory”. 180 blue spruces were planted near Kazan-Arena stadium.

“We are doing this not to just have 2-3 trees more. First of all, I wanted to induce my colleagues in the Government, municipalities, and heads of enterprises to show a good example to their families and employees. Together we can make our cities greener,” Ildar Khalikov said. 1 million blue spruces were planted on the area of 200 hectares.

“The republic provides itself with planting material. In 2013, a plant breeding centre was built in Sabinsky region. 12 million plants are grown there. There are also forest nurseries at forestries,” Tatarstan Minister of Forestry Almas Nazirov said.
