– they Made a real mess! – outraged resident of Kologriv Vladimir Smirnov. Under the guise of harvesting more trees, windfall, people came on heavy equipment and uninterruptedly cut down the surrounding timber, which were planted by our parents. In the middle of the last century, our ancestors were brought here from Arkhangelsk lot of rare for our area red pine. She has almost no lower branches and twigs. Of these seedlings grew great timber, where to pick berries and mushrooms go all inhabitants.
the Situation is really paradoxical. With dozens of fallen trees can easily handle several people with the usual chainsaw. And then worked the heavy “Harvesters”. The site of the former Bor like a dump. The earth dug up by the wheels of machinery, sawyers did not clean felling residues, stumps… But at the same time destroyed the entire berry and mushroom… “It was a forest supporter. Here grow blueberries, strawberries, and mushrooms, and mushrooms…. Now what?” – complain kologrivskogo retirees.
His sadness that the people of Kologriv were shared with the local authority. But the answer stunned them: “there are no violations in felling have been recorded.” In conversation with the correspondent “RG” the Deputy head of the administration of Kologrivsky municipal district Andrey Semenov also defended this position: “felling in the city was held legally by the public Prosecutor”. Any violations occurring in members of the administration do not see.
After a windfall last year – he explains – we have the plot to remove was not in time. And this year, we received the prosecution. A Commission was established with the participation of deputies of the district Assembly, forest Rangers and engineers. She examined the area, determined the area. We signed a contract with the contractor. Square footage clear cutting was about 35 to 40 meters. The reasons for concern. Nothing has been stolen. Wood capitalized.
And, apparently, realizing that cleaning up windfall, they went too far, Andrei Semenov does such a passage: “in the Spring, and perhaps even in the autumn we will carry out the reforestation will be planting pine trees in this area. With forestry already did”.
the Prosecutor’s office to the news from kologriva reacted calmly. According to senior assistant regional Prosecutor Natalia Shumsky-Scandinavia, in may, the district passed the inspection, which found that the hurricane had not been timely eliminated. The presence of trees creates a fire hazard and can lead to the spread of fire in residential houses located near the forest.
– the Prosecution made of the city administration representation with the requirement to eliminate infringement and to clear the forest from the broken trees and their parts, – says Natalya Shumskaya-Skoldinov. – However, city hall is any indication about the continuous felling of the forest went.
That’s it! All were guided by good intentions. Only as come from a “sincere concern” in the words of one of the residents Kologriva, “a brain for the brain stopped”? And no wonder: Bora there, and all under the law. For the benefit of citizens?! Unbelievable, but true.
And what else is outraged about this story: if you are going outside his home to remove the tree, you will need to collect a pile of documents. Not to mention the sanitary felling of trees and shrubs, located on lands of the municipality. And generally those who “axe raised” and “gave a green light on it,” understood what they were doing?
– We want the officials knew that the city’s residents so their attitude to nature and we do not agree. If you have your home looked the door – it is necessary to repair. But that’s no reason to drive a bulldozer and compare whole house to the ground. Same thing with the forest. On the eve of we again passed the hurricane felled several trees. So, we expect that under the guise of their cleaning to us will come again and destroy the rest of the forest? – says Vladimir Smirnov.
police and prosecutors began an investigation into the felling of urban trees. We expect that she will reveal?
