Happy Forestry and Woodworking Industry Workers Day!

On behalf of the Russian Forest Association, I congratulate all industry specialists on their professional holiday!

The forest is one of Russia's greatest national treasures. Its conservation, restoration, and sustainable use directly depend on your work, knowledge, and experience. Thanks to you, the sustainable development of the forestry sector is ensured, the economy is strengthened, nature is preserved, and the traditions of responsible forest management are passed on to future generations.

Today, the industry is addressing major challenges: developing advanced wood processing, increasing the transparency and efficiency of forest management, and implementing modern reforestation technologies. All of this is made possible thanks to your professionalism and dedication.

I wish you good health, prosperity, and continued success in your work for the benefit of the industry and the country!

Olga Kalyuzhnaya,
President of the Russian Forest Association
