Now place the epicenter of cutting like a barbarian invasion. Deputy Head of the State Control Committee of the Viciebsk region, Dmitry Davydenko (pictured – right) is sure that there are many good felled trees.
Autumn in the forest – it is very beautiful. That's just us with Dmitry Davydenko look around once. The road on which we have through the thick pine forest make our way to the right, we plot only on the name of the road. The depth of the ruts reaches up to half, or even more, with bogs and swamps in the center. My tour guide explains:
– That's it, and forestry workers complained, justifying its mismanagement: did not have time, they say, just take out the entire forest. But the problem is much wider – he said, promising to show even more sad picture.
Until we get to the epicenter of the unsavory events, I, leaping like a hare, with one shoulder to the other, at the risk of swim muse. There is no doubt that the road paved sylviculturists more it no one uses – no villages ahead. It turns out that they themselves and led her into such a state. Now there will be only tanks. Why forest in the off-season from year to year systematically destroyed the passage of heavy machinery if knew – once the road is still not useful? After all, it was possible to plan the work so as to let the timber on the ground has frozen? The question unanswered.
And here is the desired cutting area. It is impossible not to notice. It is difficult to find words to describe what he saw. Felled trees and abandoned. Sawn and not quite. Unharvested branches and logging residues. Huge stumps, showing that there is not cut down a little dry and the infirm, and the large mature trees. Dmitry Davydenko induct:
– On this site communicating (ie treatment) logging was planned area of 5.6 hectares. Loggers and loggers have been removed, patients affected by windbreaks and windfalls, as well as immature trees. And by releasing land from the ballast, to enable the forest to gain further strength. It is worth noting that such work is financed from the budget. A sale of the resulting timber partially compensates for public spending. In accordance with the rules determined by the volume and to obtain raw materials, – introduced me to the usual procedure of Forestry representative of state control.
Next to me as a layman open "technology" by which experts Obal Forestry worked here. As it turned out, they have developed a reverse procedure. Why waste time on a detailed inspection of forests, to assess the condition of each tree, if it is possible to prepare the planned volumes in one place? It's easier and fellers with lumberjacks, and Technology, which trelyuet forest. Yes, and what quality you get with the dried wood, so patients with fallen trees, many wage workers credited? Here and there in the summer of last year's cut everything by choosing the most advantageous for themselves and not for the nature of the trees. As a result, in the midst of the plot were to grow to be obviously cutting specimens, and their healthy neighbors destroyed.
– That is completely lost sense treatment cutting. Instead, protection forest forest speak here as a procurer mismanagement. Tidies planned 5.6 hectare did not have coped on the area of 2.3 hectares. And now, see, the forest area, which fortunately did not reach the hands of "accomplishment workers" looks much better.
After inspection district by the State Control Committee, as well as the State inspection of protection of flora and fauna at the president, Obal foresters have taken to correct what is still possible to fix it. Here and in the day of our arrival slowly piled in a heap of long-dried twigs, some of them together with logs thrown on the road – in the hope that this technique will be easier to pass. It should in fact still take the raw material, which has not had time to rot for a year. By the way, there workers in the workplace was about noon. In view of the small length of the fall of daylight to work then they will be a maximum of four hours, and up to more than a dozen kilometers of forest. That such an approach...
– How did it happen that the fellers and woodcutters salary paid, as in the plot – a mess? – Interested in a master timber Vasily Yurchenko.
– It is difficult to say – he hesitates. – Yes, dresses, acts upon performance of work, I signed up. Why is cutting carried out? I cannot answer... Now people here cut forest, we went on a mission to help colleagues Červień after the hurricane. So instead they work (paid a year ago -. Aut.) To finish the others. This situation – rather the exception.
This conclusion is disputed Dmitry Davydenko. About randomness cannot speak. In forestry and found other areas where instead of good foresters have caused harm to the nature. And significant. We visited another problematic plot. Two years where forestry workers have worked before. Instead of 35-odd hectares laid "outgoing logging" held on three dimes. They cut virtually cleaned. The handwriting is the same: healthy trees removed, the sick and dead wood left. The road to the plot even very good, but part of the harvested wood is rotting in the forest, too. Who bare meadows the wind howled, which has become to bring down defenseless and utterly decimated trees.
– Is not it better situation and plots this year, – says Dmitri. – Only at our insistence, there began to restore order. Facts are revealed, when a good timber, sawn material, immediately tried to record in industrial raw materials. The difference in value is about three times. As a result, suffers from the budget. That is, advance forestry overstates the loss-making operations. We are confident that once harvested timber export will not, and after five or six months, it itself becomes defective. The analysis shows that at least three years, local foresters are working exactly under the scheme. Testing continues, our job – to find out what damage inflicted economic activity Obal forestry state budget, as wages paid to employees unfounded. And inspection protection of flora and fauna considered the harm caused to nature. Account is already in the hundreds of thousands of rubles.
By the way. In the last two or three years, serious violations were found in the work of Bahuševičy, Dretuń, Ušačy forestries. And recently, the Supreme Court concluded its consideration of the administrative case against Pastavy forestry. The latter must pay 300 thousand rubles for the illegal logging carried out in the reserve. Representatives of forestry until recently insisted they supposedly did not know that the plot to be cut down, it is in a protected area. In an attempt to defend this position, they bypassed all instances and the cost of a non-existent evidence of the truth of more than 10 thousand rubles.
Commented Yuri Lipski, Chief Forester of Viciebsk GPLHO:
– The situation in the Obal forestry known to us. Those responsible will be punished. By the way, in recent years we have done much to restore order in the forest land. Sami conduct departmental audit only by their results since the beginning of the year to account for various violations have already attracted around 160 officials.
