The Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank is preparing for the spring planting of 80,000 trees in five regions of Russia.
In honor of the International Day of Forests, the Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank (RSHB) announces plans for spring tree planting in 2026. To date, 12.6 million rubles have already been raised for this purpose.yu1schThe funds will be used to restore forests in the Vladimir, Volgograd, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, and Saratov regions. The planned restoration area will be at least 30 hectares, with at least 80,000 trees planted.
The Ecology Foundation has been implementing the "Plant Trees" project since 2023. It aims to restore the most vulnerable forests that are unable to recover on their own after fires, windfalls, and sanitary felling. After planting, systematic monitoring of the trees is carried out for three years, supplemented by agricultural care, which significantly increases the survival rate of the seedlings.
Preparations for the new season are underway against the backdrop of results already achieved. Over the course of the project's implementation, over 221,000 trees have been planted in 10 regions of Russia. Since its launch, over 19,000 people have donated to the project.
"The International Day of Forests is a reminder that caring for nature begins with concrete actions. For us, forest restoration is a systematic and long-term effort that requires not only planting but also ongoing care. We see that more and more people are willing to support such initiatives, and this helps us expand the program and make our contribution to forest conservation even more tangible," comments Elmira Morozova, Director of the Ecology Foundation at the Russian Agricultural Bank.
The International Day of Forests aims to remind people of the importance of preserving and restoring forests. According to the FAO, the net loss of forests globally from 2015 to 2025 was 4.12 million hectares per year. Against this backdrop, reforestation projects are becoming an important part of the environmental agenda and a tangible contribution to preserving the natural balance.
