Spring fires harm nature!

Burning dry grass impoverishes the soil! The mineral substances contained in ash are easily washed away by surface and groundwater, and only a small part of them is absorbed by plants. As a result, the vegetation cover degrades, and its species composition becomes impoverished. This, in turn, leads to a decrease in the input of organic matter and a reduction in humus content – the soil loses its ability to retain moisture, and its destruction begins – erosion. Not only plants perish in fire; animals and birds die in the flames! Burning dry grass causes the destruction of clutches and nesting sites of birds such as the mallard, garganey, lapwing, redshank, snipe, reed bunting, corn bunting, skylark, woodlark, and meadow pipit. PROHIBITED! - Burning of dry vegetation (dry plants) and their stubble; - Lighting fires, burning plant residues in public areas within settlements (Exception! Specially equipped places designated by decisions of local executive and administrative bodies, and on other territories, fires are permitted in compliance with environmental protection requirements and fire safety rules.). Failure to comply with the requirements of the law entails administrative liability!
