The first public excursion of «Forestcom» experts took place in Vynnykivsky forest

On Sunday, May 15, Forestcom experts conducted the first tour of the mini-hiking cycle. This time it took place in Vynnykivsky Forest near Lviv, so that all participants could easily get to the meeting place.

Speakers were Taras Kharachko, an expert on forest restoration and environmental education, and Volodymyr Yarotsky, a biologist and environmentalist. During the tour they managed to interest children and beginners in the world of nature, and help colleagues to understand unclear topics.



"First of all, it's beautiful. Secondly, I learned a lot, although I have both biological and psychological education. Previously, I could not distinguish beech from hornbeam, but now I finally learned to do it, " said one of participants, Victoria from Zaporizhia.



Among the participants were many IDPs from Eastern Ukraine who were able to relieve stress and relax during the conversation.


“I liked that there were a lot of interesting things about adaptation. I did not know that it is possible to adapt not only in space, but also in time. This is such useful information that it can be usedin a day-to-day activities, ” shared her impressions Olya from Kharkiv.



Some of the knowledge gained not only helped participants better understand the flora and fauna, but also revealed something about our human nature. After all, some of the mechanisms we trace in animals and plants are similar to our own behavior.


"I did not know before that trees can use their substances to spread some information that they do not like. Or vice versa - they can attract other plants, "said Ihor from Kyiv.

The next journey will take place next week, the date and time we will announce a bit later.
