Krasnolymanske forestry subunit of the former Lyman State Forestry Enterprise in Donetsk region has suffered destruction as a result of enemy shelling!

The attack completely destroyed garage facilities, the fire station, the boiler house, and specialized equipment.

Fortunately, none of the forestry employees were injured, and their families have been evacuated. Despite these extremely difficult conditions, forestry workers continue their duties – conducting patrols to detect illegal logging and forest fires.

Since the front line is nearby and a significant part of the forestry is mined, fires break out almost daily. Most of the firefighting equipment was saved, so foresters still have the means to extinguish the blazes.

However, due to the challenging security situation, the shortage of personnel has worsened. Currently, there is only one firefighting driver left for the entire forestry unit.

Recently, the process of integrating the Lyman State Forestry Enterprise into the branch “Eastern Forestry Office” of SFE “Forests of Ukraine” was completed, and the Donetsk Forestry Unit was established. This merger will help resolve a number of operational issues, including equipment repair, timber harvesting, and ensuring the needs of both the local population and the military.
