Dear Björn Hånell!
I searched for, found, got 460 hectares of degraded land. They planted and grow 100 hectares of rare, endangered and species of trees from the Red Book. Each year up to a forest area of 5-10 hectares. I am the first and so far only in Russia, forest farmer. My goal is to restore degraded land through planting and establishment of forest on this land. Please provide information about organizations and individuals carrying out similar work. I would be grateful for the advice of specialists in the field of rehabilitation of degraded lands and reproduction of such forest resources. Please include my details to send information about planned activities.

Искал, нашел, получил 460 га деградированных земель. На них посадил и выращиваю 100 га редких, исчезающих и видов деревьев из Красной книги. Каждый год площадь леса увеличиваю на 5-10 га. Я являюсь первым, и пока единственным в России лесным фермером. Моя цель восстановить деградированные земли при помощи посадки и создания леса на данной земле. Прошу сообщить информацию об организациях и лицах, проводящих аналогичную работу. Буду благодарен за консультации специалистов в области восстановления деградированных земель и воспроизводства подобных лесных ресурсов. Прошу включить мои данные для рассылки информации о планируемых мероприятиях.
