Vitaly Mikhailovich Strugovets, Director of Department on public relations of JSC “MOESK”: “It’s not a secret for anybody that the last year’s weather cataclysms – forest fires and icy rain inflicted a serious damage to nature of several Russia’ regions, including Moscow region. So to recover power supply, the power engineers had to enlarge cutting down of trees on cross-cuts. To compensate for cutting down and recover the natural balance we have taken a decision to make large-scale beddings of trees. It’s pleasant that campaigners “Mestnye” have agreed to help us - the boys and girls have supported this initiative with half word and got into the swing of things”.
