The consequences of last year's storm will be completely eliminated by 1 February, as stated by the Minister of Forestry at the final session of the Ministry. According to Mikhail Amelyanovich, new trees are planned to be planted on the site of the felled forests by 1 May.

In addition, summing up last year’s results, experts have observed an almost three-fold profit growth, primarily due to the modernisation of the industry. The emphasis is now on the logging technique. Besides, logging engineers are trained using a special simulator, which is the only one of the kind in the CIS. This model allows working out all the options accurately and then applying the theory in practice without errors, therefore doing no damage to the trees. The simulator is also used by Russian experts who undergo training in Belarus.
