Since the beginning of the year,110.5 kg of seeds of coniferous species, of which 73 kg of pine, 30 kg of spruce, 5 kg of larch, and 2.5 kg of fir have been stocked. This year, the seeds are harvested faster and the volume as of the beginning of the calendar year is higher than the last year, by 24%.

Forest seeds of key forest species are harvested by different ways: they are collected from standing trees (conifer cones), from the ground (oak seeds) and from felled trees. The main harvesting of seeds of pine and spruce is carried out at final felling. The cones and seeds from growing trees are harvested by workers who are on the ground using removable devices mounted on poles or rods, or directly from the branches of the crown using lifting devices.
