One hundred evergreen arborvitae trees were planted in Feldman Ecopark at this weekend. The new path of “trees of life” as these fascinating plants of the cypress family are also called appeared near the Horse Complex. Besides the young naturalists, employees of the Regional Landscape Park and its founder Oleksandr Feldman, the forced migrants and the anti-terrorist operation soldiers participated in this event.
“We will plant rare trees and bushes, bed out parterres and flowerbeds to bring our Ecopark to the level of the best European arboretums. We plan to create all necessary conditions for the landscape therapy, the garden therapy in the recreational zone. This is done first of all to expand possibilities of our Center of Psychosocial Rehabilitation which helps children with special needs, forced migrants and the anti-terrorist operation soldiers – Oleksandr Feldman noted. – Except an esthetic and therapeutic component we think of science and conservation. It’s necessary to plant trees, to create a landscape, together with scientists and according to recommendations of specialists we will start recultivation of the whole territory of the Regional Landscape Park “.
Also at the weekend the birds release into the native habitat took place in Feldman Ecopark. Let’s note that similar events already became the Regional Landscape Park’s tradition.
“We decided to carry out the bird’s release campaign once more to remind people that all living beings have the right to life and freedom, – the head of bird section Feldman Ecopark Vladimir Perekhodovich told. – Moustached titmouses, goldfinches, yellowbirds, linnets, buntings, forest male canaries, chaffinches, bramblings, nuns – more than 150 birds we redeemed from poultry markets and today we release them to the native habitat. These are local birds, not migratory, wintering in our country. They are able to provide themselves nourishment (harvest remaining on fields) before deep snow fall. A great part of them will remain to live in the Regional Landscape Park’s territory. In winter we will, as usual, hang out feeding troughs for them and their numerous fellows”.
