Decorating Christmas trees is an integral part of the winter holiday season. So in the last month of the year - December 1-24. - The Department of Environmental Protection will carry out inspections of the "Saugom eglutė" campaign, monitor forests, stop and check vehicles. Environmentalists urge not to be tempted and not to cut down the trees arbitrarily, not to break their branches.
Preventive monitoring of forests will be carried out throughout the festive period, and special attention is paid to the protection of Christmas trees before Christmas.
"We point out that the desire to decorate the house during the festive period should not harm conifers growing in the forest. Therefore, we urge not only not to cut down the Christmas trees, but also not to break the branches", says Tadeus Ablacinskij, director of the Forest Control Department.
Owners of private forests can cut down a Christmas tree in their own forest, but in this case, you must have documents proving ownership of the forest with you.
