GOSLISOGENSTVO provides a set of measures to protect the coniferous plantations before the new Year’s holidays

T. V. The head of the state agency of Forest Resources Christina Yushkevych signed the order on measures to ensure the protection of conifers in the new Year period of 2017 year and letter on chiefs of Land and hunting Farms and forestry to prevent illicit preparations and realization of Christmas trees.

The State Forestry brigade will jointly with national Police and State Environmental Inspectorate, public inspectors of the environment, public and media representatives to detect offenders. Every citizen in front of the New Year holidays will be able to familiarize themselves with the volumes, places of sale, prices on new-year trees on the sites of the deceptive forestry and forestry. Citizens will be able to buy a Christmas tree directly into the state forestry. It will be much cheaper than on fir-tree bazaars. For example, in Zhitomir region the average price for a linear meter will be on average 30 uah. You can also check the legality of the origin of the tree on-line,-said T. v. Head of the state forestry Christina Yushkevych on his page on Facebook.

Khrystyna Yushkevych emphasized that everyone can decide what kind of tree he will install at home on New Year holidays, and in her family is not the first year put an artificial Christmas tree.

Note that by 2014 year the marking of Christmas trees was conducted by the Bulls, made of plastic. Taking into account the necessity to reduce the process of marking the new Year’s trees, as well as the implementation of Government decisions on the organization of work in the conditions of maximum economy of public funds, it was found much more advantageous alternative to the bulls-self-adhesive Labels. This allowed almost three times to reduce the cost of marking the fir-trees – from 1.75 uah for the refs to 0.63 UAH for the self-adhesive label.

It should be noted that self-adhesive labels are made of special paper, which prevents them reuse, as they are completely destroyed when trying to glue them. According to experts, it is due to the use of self-adhesive labels, which at the price much more affordable than tags, the shadow market of Christmas trees decreased almost twice.

Self-adhesive labels contain an individual number and the corresponding barcode code, which is added to a single system of electronic accounting of wood. Verification of legality of the Christmas tree will be made by introducing the number from the self-adhesive label, which is attached to the Christmas tree, on the site http://www.ukrforest.com. If the information on the site is absent – it may testify about the questionable origin of the tree.

We hope for the consciousness of citizens at the purchase of fir-trees and ask when choosing Christmas trees to pay attention to the presence of self-adhesive labels. About the facts of abuse or detection of violations please inform the local police and state forestry authorities.
