in braslava, the azers are as blue as the early sky, which is on the right and in the racing forest, at the beginning of the glowing dawns, the washing of creatures and the world, and the knowledge of the fall, the rise of the world. the charms are woven into the smiling suns, you look from the sea, the bottom is gilded , it’s endless, the accumulated azers, like not most years, and more chazza sustrezza, what would we know, mountains, pestilence, and the azerbaijanis have never forgotten them, my dear. i'll back away.

the forests of belarus are truly our heritage, our beauty, our pride. and the forests are our wealth, 40% of our country they cover. related to the history, culture of our people, in order to preserve this wealth, it must be protected from pests and diseases. my name is sergey shdanovich, i am the head of the state institution for the protection and monitoring of forests, bellelesozashchita,

for more than half a century we have been guarding the protection of forests, our main concern is the health of the forest, protecting it from pests and diseases. my day starts at 8:30 in accordance with the work schedule, but as a rule i go to work at...

we look, we leave for these viscoses, for these areas where a high number of apical bark, six-toothed, is revealed, we look at the dynamics of drying out of the adjacent stands. we survey more than 3,000 hectares of forest stands, about 20 forest nurseries, about 25 forest-sim plantations, that is, we conduct these surveys annually in order to keep the situation under control ourselves and... in the most difficult cases, to help forestries methodically on some difficult areas of work, what measures forest protection will appoint on this or that forest object fund. and the staff of our institution is small, 31 people taking into account all services, naturally, it

is difficult to cover the entire territory of the forest fund of the republic with such a number of specialists, this is 8.3 million hectares covered by forest area.

the very first link of this system is general supervision, which is carried out mainly by foresters in the assigned territory, the purpose of this general supervision is to identify simply an unfavorable state of the forest background. yes drying out, windfall, damage by pests, to inform the forestry department in the future of the forest to a leaf pathologist engineer, yes, that is, a forest doctor, as we say, a leaf pathologist engineer, a forestry enterprise goes to the site, assesses the situation and makes a final decision, in order to establish the cause of damage to the forest fund, whether it is planting material in a forest nursery or on... plantings, it is necessary, of course, to go there, conduct an examination, take samples of damage, take

samples of pests diseases, often it is not always possible to establish the cause on the spot when diagnostic signs, in this case we take these samples of damage, we have a laboratory on the basis of the institution, a photopathological, entomological laboratory, where we have our own forces, modern microscopic equipment, equipment for... in general, last year, yes, in forest crops in nurseries, firstly, we were already in

the babruisk forest nursery, where we laid down tests, yes, a raek tank for our preparations, it is noted that the improvement in the condition of the planting material, three-year-old, of course, suffered significantly, and one two-year-old put out a new young quoin in principle , it continues to return in the forest nursery, a two-fold chemical treatment was carried out, they were in a general state according to well , these are classical methods, if they are not enough, we have such a scientific association, together with the belarusian state technological university, the department of forest protection of wood, our institution, this is a branch laboratory of forest protection. branch laboratory of forest protection, this is precisely this division - often helps us namely in the identification of harmful organisms. we are not entirely pleased with the amount of dna in the material,

perhaps, after all, it is necessary to adjust the methods of selection and storage, the fresher the material, the better the result will be , the more accurate and easier it is to identify, well, it is obvious that this is an infectious lesion, yes, there is visible dna, while we do not yet know what is curled, but in the near future. the state provided financial support, equipped this industry laboratory with modern molecular genetic equipment, therefore there are appropriate methods, well and another very important area of ​​our cooperation within the framework of the forest protection laboratory is mutual internship, yes. that is, the students of the department, as a rule, already before graduation undergo practical training,

industrial with us, pre-graduation, on the basis of our institution, traveling to the forest, where they can conduct some of their diploma research on natural objects, in turn, our specialists also undergo an internship in the modern equipment of the industry forest protection laboratory, that is, this is also for us allows us to improve the qualifications of our specialists. we have training in our institution, forestry specialists, our forest doctors, they undergo training directly in the center for training personnel of the forestry department, but specifically on our territory of the institution there is already more emphasis on practical laboratory classes, therefore we have for our specialists such a small visual material of the collection... pests and diseases of the forest, where you can drag and see typical damage

by the most common harmful forest organisms, to get acquainted with pests, diseases, fruiting bodies of various wood-destroying fungi, symptoms of damage to foliage, needles, trunks, in general, for all objects of the forest fund, you can look at all this in order to then already in your forestry department... this is to identify and inform us about it, and this gives its positive results, now over time , fewer and fewer such trivial samples come to us for diagnostics. this suggests that people themselves there on the ground are already able to determine the type of pest or diseases. 98 forestry enterprises on the territory of our country and 12 legal entities conducting forestry of other departments, here, if you look at the map, the geography of the work of specialists of our institution, now

our workers are working on the protection of lice plantations, from the kubren experimental forestry enterprise. in the future, we want to study the influence of root rot, chloy species on the condition of trees, on their further settlement by bark beetles, well, and other table pests. the principle of operation is based on - measuring the speed of passage of a sound wave from sensor to sensor. the built-in computer analyzes these signals and builds

a corresponding diagram of the cross-section of the tree trunk, where the wood is healthy. is painted conditionally in green, wood at the initial stage of decay in yellow, well, and wood at the final stage of decay or a hollow, is painted in red, and we can have an idea of ​​​​the cross-section of the tree. our work is such, basically these are trips throughout the republic, in various directions we examine areas of the forest fund and forest plantations, young forest crops, forest family plantations, forest nurseries, all this is also being examined, our

specialists, our facilities are being updated, yes ... a large, large triangular trap , winter friday, how does it work in general for us? well, you know, it's been a year and 8 months now, and well, i haven't been disappointed for sure , it's interesting to work, it's interesting, this is directly the main aspect of both the choice of profession and our institution, but business trips don't bother you normally, no, they don't bother you at all, that's exactly what i like, that 50/50, office work, business trips, very optimal for me, well i...

opportunities to grow professionally, come our bad salary, there are different people, someone leaves, but if someone stays, then this is no longer a random person, this is a person who loves this direction, loves the forest, loves forest protection. forests are divided into four categories: pre-protection forests, recreational and health, protective and operational, respectively, nature conservation forests are forests of national parks, reserves, sanctuaries, and others specially protected natural areas, where economic activity is limited, but this does not mean that these forests are not protected, these forests are also protected from pests and diseases, but only in this case, let 's say, more gentle methods are used, taking into account the restrictions of protective legislation on their implementation, but mainly we

use biological methods of forest protection in such areas, this is hanging artificial nests, titmice, skerechnik. and if it is necessary to carry out, for example, aerial treatment of forests against leaf gnawing pests, then in this case biological preparations are used, well , practically harmless to the environment, with what rate did they work 20 liters per hectare and 0.35 liters of the preparation, and there was no wind, when they processed, there was no wind, it was almost a calm , they flew at what height, one and a half meters, yes one and a half meters, and the tun lay down normally.

i look at what samples came, what samples we conduct, on what samples we conduct radiometric measurements, well, in general , i communicate with specialists, with bosses department, what are the results of radiometric measurements on sheet products according to our samples on permanent kurtah nabluzene, we took samples of sawdust, workshop wood processing diatelovsky lyskoz, then it is brought here, here... dried to a certain humidity, placed - in a pipette for measurement then in a measuring device, where the measurement is carried out directly e

content of radionuclides in this product, then the results are analyzed, compared with the normative data with the republican acceptable levels and a corresponding conclusion is made about this product. after lunch, a specialist and i go to an experimental facility in the dololovic forestry area, which we have laid down, this is a site for the mass capture of the bark beetle typographer using pheromone traps and we also have an object for studying the effect of tree infestation or root rot on those inhabited by table pests. our institution is called the state institution for the protection and monitoring of forests, bellesozashita. it is customary to call us forest doctors, well, since childhood i love nature, forests, and nature in general, so my choice was obvious, i entered the forestry department of the bgto

, graduated from it, then studied for a master's degree at this university, and for a long time i worked in forestry science, at the institute of experimental botany, also in a division that studies forest productivity and sustainability, in a mycology laboratory for a certain time... i worked where i studied trees that destroy fungi, that was my main topic of research, well, after that science it happened that way, somehow i accidentally ended up in the belolesozashchita institution as a part-time engineer, i worked, looked, i liked this activity, well then i was invited to the position of chief engineer in this institution, where i worked for a total of about 7 years, well, since august 2023 we have been heading the institution as a director, so in principle i am familiar with all the areas of activity here, if we

approach an outwardly healthy tree, judging by the crown, it is green, no we do not see damage on the table at a superficial examination, but if we come closer, we will see under the scales of bark, entrance holes, framed by small accumulations of resin, wood resin, these are the entrance holes of the bark beetle, it populates, makes a mating chamber there, the female of the typographer series, with the help of a pheromone attracts females, they fly in, mating occurs and then eggs are laid and from which the offspring develops - larvae, then pupae, then rogues, here, if we remove a small section of the bark together with the entrance holes, we can already see here, this is a large entrance - this is the uterine entrance, which the female makes, lays eggs along the edges of the passage, from which the larvae then emerge and

form such transverse larval passages. the larva feeds, at the end of the passage it pupates, from it then turns into a young beetle, therefore this tree, it will no longer restore its health and it is subject to cutting down. often have a very positive effect on their development, the least number of foci of harmful organisms in our north in vitebsk areas, here, but gradually we see such

a trend that... the situation is gradually leveling out, since climate changes occur when during the settlement of trees there is no precipitation for a long time, when the karoyata beetles are drilled, the borer flour is not washed away by precipitation, it accumulates en masse at the base of the trunk, so if you look here, you can see that the moss at the base of the trunk, it is all strewn with this borer flour, this is a very reliable sign to identify that the tree has been populated for a month. we set such a period with moment of detection and take them out of the forest for processing, if for some reason it is not possible to take them out of the forest in a timely manner, then these timber materials, this is wood that is harvested, left for storage in the forest, for example, it is subject to treatment with insecticides, i talked a lot about pests, diseases, but in fact these are the same natural organisms ... coexist in the forest

with trees, with plants, they are pests from an economic point of view, from the point of view of forestry management from the point of view of savings, since at a certain numbers exceeding the norm, certain damage can be caused, that is , lead to drying out of plantings, damage to the forest stand, and so on. one of the ways to limit the number of stem... traps, about 1,600 traps in our forest fund throughout the republic are dispersed to catch the pest. we also use these traps to monitor honesty. of course, there is no single way to combat the pest, we also use pheromone traps, lay out polished wood, and of course, the main the method is sanitary felling, selective clear cuttings with an emphasis on timely selection

of such newly populated trees.

drying phenomena, development of risk factors for diseases of the hessian region, well, in order to promptly make poisoning decisions, plan weight-protective measures, at 17:15 my working day ends, i live next to the forest, well, even when we walk with my family in the forest, i have a habit - this is to look up.

at the crowns of the trees, has anything withering appeared there, yes, is there any overeating there, i have a son, he is 9 years old, since childhood leafs through dad's big books about bark beetles, about different caterpillars, so he can basically know the names of these pests and diseases, and can distinguish the tree species in the forest , our main ones, if he chooses this specialty for himself, i will be glad, but i think that ... he will retain his love for the forest and nature in any case, in order to preserve, protect the forest, well, of course, you need to love and appreciate it, so that there is some kind of inner awareness that this is really our national heritage, our wealth, well, and in order to love something, to appreciate something, well, it seems to me that we need to know this first of all, therefore the work that is carried out by the ministry

of forestry on preschool forestries is very important here. on school forestries - this is to introduce children, the younger generation to the forest, only by your own example can you show how to love, how to protect. how to protect our forest wealth? children's growth is the natural wealth of belarus. many secrets can be found in the belarusian region. there is a magical lake with an extraordinary name - god's voice. the name of the lake received thanks to their outlines. which remind of the voice, looking at my form of a correct circle, which does not change for a long time, there is a fall, that the voice is considered to be on the right of people from demons, and there are many more such

magical chandeliers in belarus.

what is the meaning? modern icon painters put into their works, and so that all this was not in vain, so that it helps people to pray, so that it helps to repent, to become church-goers, as today the training is conducted in sunday schools, one spiritual lesson,

the law of god, one lesson of creativity, one lesson music, and for the older ones, that is, adults, there are already lectures on the subject, well, there is already , so to speak, more serious preparation, what is mercy? probably the food that we ourselves will always need, and this is the food of god, which is born in the heart of a compassionate soul. what unique shrines are kept in belarusian churches? here we have just the holy relics of the martyr vanefaty of rome, and vanefaty is the patron helper of such a sin, which many, many people encounter, this is. the sin of drinking wine, this is a particle of the relics, which arrived to us from greece. answers to these and other questions in spiritual and educational projects on the belarus24 tv channel.
