The Deputy Minister visited the "Nature Reserve and Park Complex" and thanked the director of the arboretum Vitaly Leonovich for many years of dedicated and effective work, and also discussed and inventoried the problems existing in the arboretum.
"I express my gratitude for the years of devoted, without retreat and exemplary work. Overcoming many difficulties, often working with limited resources, you have never retreated from your real vocation as an "ecologist". In the arboretum, as a hospitable host, you received thousands of visitors from different generations, shared your knowledge with them, taught them, and showed by example how to love and take care of every corner of nature.
Let me thank you once again and appreciate the path you have traveled and many years of professional experience," the Deputy Minister said and promised to do everything possible to assist Mr. Leonovich in the care and protection of the arboretum.
The Deputy Minister toured the territory of the arboretum, got acquainted with the preparatory work for the opening of the park.
As a result of heavy snowfalls, a greenhouse built on the territory of the arboretum has recently collapsed. Deputy Minister Aram Meimaryan familiarized himself with the problem on the spot and promised to find solutions to improve the territory and move undamaged seedlings to another territory.
