The Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank planted trees in the Balgazyn forestry area.
October 4, 2025
The final event of the “Plant Trees” project of the Ecology Foundation (RSHB) in 2025 took place on the territory of the Balgazy forestry, as a result of which 10.2 thousand pine seedlings were planted. The event was attended by representatives of the Ecology Fund of the Russian Agricultural Bank, partners of the ANO Green Light fund, Deputy Minister of Forestry and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tyva Galina Ivanovna Chugrey, employees of the Tuva regional branch of the Russian Agricultural Bank. Previously, the Balgazyn forestry had already planted more than 10 thousand seedlings with an open root system on 3000 hectares of land. By the time Rosselkhozbank arrived, the allotted area had been divided into long narrow rows and weeded with a forestry plow. Before starting work, mandatory detailed instructions were given by ANO “Green Light”: how to plant forest crops correctly to ensure their maximum survival rate. And then, armed with a special tool – Kolesov’s sword – the employees made holes in the ground and carefully placed fragile seedlings in the prepared places, carefully covering them with earth. Caring for the environment is one of the key priorities in the activities of Rosselkhozbank. The bank implements projects in this direction through its own Ecology Fund. The foundation’s activities cover the implementation of various environmental projects, including projects for forest restoration and the preservation of natural biodiversity. The head of the Ecology Foundation, Elmira Morozova, noted the importance of the project for the conservation and restoration of the region’s forest fund and maintaining a favorable ecological environment. “Today, together with you, we will contribute to the restoration of the forest in your region. Regular tree planting help preserve biodiversity, improve air quality and maintain healthy soils. Next year you will see the result of your labor. And may this day remain a good and bright memory in your hearts,” said Elmira Morozova. “We are very pleased that the sale of environmental certificates “Plant a Tree” by the Tuva branch brought such an effect – 10,200 spruce seedlings were purchased with the proceeds. Today we we plant trees to create a comfortable ecological environment for ourselves and future generations, our small contribution to the conservation of nature. But this should not be a one-time action; with such an approach you will not achieve much. After such unifying “green” deeds, we must be more careful about the environment, nature, constantly take care of our small homeland, with the desire to do good for our region,” commented the director Tuva regional branch of the Russian Agricultural Bank Oksana Oskirko.
