Abstract

The Cabinet of Ministers establishes the procedure for planting, caring for and using trees and shrubs that are not part of the state forest fund for the purpose of further improvement of green spaces and vegetation. It also establishes compensation for each cut tree and bush, in the form of planting large-sized saplings not less than the trees and bushes to be cut, and caring for them for at least two years, and for illegally cut trees and bushes, the obligation to plant 100 saplings with the condition of maintenance for three years. The moratorium on the cutting of valuable varieties of trees and shrubs, which are not part of the state forest fund, has been extended for an indefinite period. Compensatory planting of trees and shrubs does not exempt legal entities and natural persons from paying the fee charged in accordance with the procedure established by legislation for the issuance of a permit to cut down trees and shrubs, or administrative fines for illegally cutting, felling, damaging, destroying or transplanting them. Compensatory planting areas, as a rule, are selected from "Green Parks" and "Green Public Parks" established in the regions, as well as other areas intended for improvement and greening. This Regulation applies to: (a) the trees and bushes growing on private plots of land of natural persons and their seedlings and saplings; (b) trees and shrubs grown in nurseries and plantations, as well as their seedlings; and (c) trees and shrubs (poplars and other fast-growing tree species, mulberries, fruit trees and shrubs) owned by legal or individual business entities and planted by them for timber and harvest purposes. It does not apply to fruit trees and bushes on plots of land allocated for horticulture and viticulture.
