Our country is rich in all kinds of resources. They must be stored, protected and used rationally. There are special professions for this. One of the assets of the state is the forest. In the first month of autumn, a holiday is celebrated - Forest Workers' Day. Thanks to these desperate people, our natural resources are multiplied and skillfully used. Don't forget to congratulate your loved ones and friends who are related to this profession.
Valuable material
Forest is the basis of our country's economy. No other country in the world has such rich timber resources. We only need to protect and increase these treasures. Forest workers never sit idle. This is very hard work that requires both physical activity and mental activity. Even their employees cannot afford to leave their posts and jobs.
Timber processing organizations also celebrate a special day on the third Sunday of September - Forest Workers' Day. They organize festive concerts, present certificates and gifts to production leaders.
Good words
The forest gives us not only material benefits. A walk among the tall, centuries-old trunks gives spiritual strength, charges you with positive energy and positivity. Walking through the rustling foliage, you immediately feel peace, tranquility and unity with nature.
In the forests and wood processing industry, we can congratulate those who treat nature and its gifts with care and reverence.

You are real enthusiasts! We want you to never know what a fire or a poacher is! Success in work and personal happiness!”
Those who work in the forest
We congratulate you with all our hearts,

He knows every path there.
In the forest, every bush is familiar to them,
Counting all the trees.
So let everyone know about him,
Let them not joke with fire in the forest!
Such congratulations can be presented on Forest Workers Day. This holiday must be celebrated, because this profession is important for each of us!
Forest life
People often go to the forest for a picnic. But not everyone follows the rules of behavior in this place. You need to handle fire with extreme caution, because just one spark can cause a tragedy. Nature suffers from fires, people and local residents lose their shelter and roof over their heads.
The forest is a whole world. It combines many plants, shrubs, and trees. This is the most powerful ecosystem that does not fail. After all, the forest looks like one big mechanism. Every branch, every leaf is interconnected, they feed from each other. These thin threads must not be disturbed. If you go into the forest to pick mushrooms, be careful and careful. There is no need to collect bags and carts; there is no need for greed here.
Forest Workers' Day is a very important holiday for those who work for the benefit of nature. The forester is always on guard, on any day and in any weather.
Earthly beauty
Forests are located in different parts of the country. Each has its own soil and its own vegetation. On the eve of the New Year holidays, it is not easy for the guardians of pine and spruce forests. There are more than enough people who want to get a free coniferous beauty! Even despite the bad weather and snowdrifts, poachers do not give up trying to chop young spruce and pine trees!
Not everyone knows that forests, this holiday is not very popular. But if you know workers who are affected by this special day, be sure to say a few kind words to them!
It's good in the deep forest
Both in winter and in summer!
Congratulations on the holiday,
We remember this!
Forest workers are the kindest people,
He lives in harmony with nature.
Every day you do good deeds,
For this, honor and praise to you!
Congratulations can be written in a beautiful postcard with a view of the forest, or made into a collage of photos. A small present will also be useful. After all, many people equate their professional holiday with their birthday.
Fauna
Forest Workers' Day is well known in our country. After all, the forest, in addition to trees and plants, also has wildlife. Therefore, wildlife lovers and young naturalists can also be congratulated on this holiday.
Some living forest inhabitants can be dangerous to human life and health. Therefore, you don’t need to go far into the thicket. In the world of fauna there are also strong and weak species, they find housing and food in the forest - this is their home. Intrusion into their habitat can cause aggression.
In addition to providing resources, the forest does essential work. It absorbs water and then releases it back in the form of water vapor, thereby humidifying the atmosphere. Therefore, it must be protected and taken care of.
Forest Workers' Day can be celebrated not as an ordinary holiday, but with benefit. Students and volunteers form teams and head out into nature, armed with trash bags and gloves. Forest workers cannot cover such vast areas and remove all the waste left by people. They simply need help.
Love nature and instill this feeling in children from a very young age, then our planet will have a bright future!
Forests in Russia occupy about 45% of the entire area of the country, which is approximately 8.5 million square meters. km. Of course, the numbers are huge, but they should not mislead anyone. After all, an irrational approach to the use of the resources of the “green sea” can provoke a sharp decline in these indicators, and sometimes without the possibility of recovery. Therefore, only specialists should monitor the forest and work in it. And, of course, people of such an unusual and difficult profession should have their own holiday.
The history of the holiday and who celebrates it
On June 17, 1977, by Decree of the Presidium of the USSR, the so-called “forest law” was adopted, regulating the use of state forest funds, as well as the procedure for their protection. Three years later (October 1, 1980), another decree was issued establishing an official day for forest workers. The date was deliberately shifted a little so that it fell on a weekend - and for 35 years now, every third Sunday in September, everyone whose work has at least some relation to the forest, oak grove, spruce forests, thickets, etc., celebrates their professional holiday . Who are these people?
- foresters;
- green farm workers (they do planting);
- fellers;
- those involved in the prevention and elimination of forest fires;
- employees of timber processing enterprises, etc.
Every third Sunday of September is celebrated not only in Russia. In the Republic of Belarus, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan, Forester's Day is also celebrated. In these countries, as well as on the territory of the Russian Federation, great attention is paid to the protection of the “green sea”:
- In Ukraine, about half of all wild trees are artificially created forest plantations. This suggests that people involved in increasing “green wealth” work conscientiously.
- In Kyrgyzstan, Forest Workers' Day is a special holiday. After all, most of the territory of this country is occupied by agricultural land, steppes and semi-desert. That is why the preservation of “green wealth” plays a significant role there.
- The forest cover of the Republic of Belarus is growing every day. In the last 50-60 years alone, it has almost doubled. In addition, Russia's neighbor is known as one of the main suppliers of timber, as well as non-timber forest resources (feed, medicinal, etc.).
Of course, behind all this data are ordinary people who work not only for the benefit of forestry, but also for the entire population of the country.
How the holiday is celebrated
Celebrations dedicated to certain professions are rarely celebrated on a large scale. So it is in the case of Forester’s Day - all events dedicated to this date take place within organizations that are somehow connected with forestry, with the participation of the Ministry of Nature Protection.
Sometimes volunteers can join those working in forestry. In some regions, there are initiative groups that actively help in extinguishing fires, rescuing rare animals, birds, plants, etc. They also celebrate Forest Workers' Day, no matter what date it occurs.
Congratulations
In addition to verbal congratulations, which will be heard at the official part of the celebrations, everyone involved in the celebration of Forester's Day should receive postcards or see large posters with written wishes and illustrations. What can you use for posters?
- photographs of trees;
- interesting facts related to plants;
- an abbreviated decree establishing the holiday so that people could learn its history;
- congratulations on Forest Workers' Day in poetry and prose;
- list of those who distinguished themselves, etc.
By the way, such wall newspapers and special events are appropriate not only on the third Sunday of September, but also in the spring. Because, in addition to Forest Workers' Day, which appeared in the USSR, there is another similar date - March 21, when World Forest Day is celebrated. This has happened every year since 1971.
The protection of natural resources, including forests, is of national importance and plays a huge, although, at first glance, inconspicuous role in the life and health of every person. Forests make up about a third of the land area. In Russia they occupy an area of 38 million square meters. km Modern people would hardly survive without the forest and its inhabitants.
But the forest always needed a wise and caring owner, as the forester was at all times. A forester is a man of a noble profession, without whom the increase and skillful use of forest wealth would be unthinkable.
Forest Workers Day 2017 date, date when celebrated
On the third Sunday of September every year, forest workers celebrate their professional holiday.
Forest Workers Day in 2017 - the holiday falls on September 17. On the same day, the holiday is celebrated in Russia and Ukraine, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan.
“Forest legislation” adopted in the Soviet Union on September 18, 1977 served as an impetus for the simultaneous adoption of Forest Workers Day along with the legislation.
Forest Workers Day history of the holiday
The holiday was officially established by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated 01.10.80 “On holidays and memorable days.” From that day to the present, every autumn is marked by the onset of the professional holiday of foresters. On this important day, it is customary to celebrate the services of foresters to the Fatherland, to honor the work of foresters for the benefit of the homeland and society.
Together with the foresters, the holiday is celebrated by all those workers whose activities are in one way or another connected with the forest, namely forest guard workers, representatives of pulp and paper, logging, wood processing, timber factories, as well as everyone who is attentive and responsible to the forest resources of Russia .
Festival of forestry traditions
Traditionally, every fall, festive evenings are held with the participation of veterans of the timber industry, where the professional achievements of workers are announced and their contribution to the development of forestry in a huge country, including at the national level, is encouraged.
Every autumn, on television programs, the head of state addresses forestry workers with a congratulatory speech, highlighting the most significant results and achievements of workers in this field.
Regional and city-scale events and environmental campaigns are held to attract public attention to existing environmental problems. This helps ease the work of foresters, reduce the number of cases of unauthorized logging, pollution of forestry and improper handling of fire in the forest.
The annual celebration helps preserve and enhance the centuries-old experience of forestry in caring for the forest, organizing the normal functioning of all its ecosystems, maintaining order and cleanliness in forest areas, and control during periods of fire danger.
Close attention to the conscientious work of foresters on this day significantly increases the environmental literacy of the population, contributes to the formation of a correct civic position, and a responsible attitude towards all living things, in particular towards the forest.
