By the way, it is worth remembering that you cannot cut down fir trees and pines on your own without permission. On the eve of Christmas and New Year, and on the holidays themselves, employees of the state forest protection service will conduct raids and patrols of forests, coniferous young trees near roads and populated areas. Along with them, traffic police officers and the State Inspectorate for the Protection of Fauna and Flora under the President of the Republic of Belarus will be on duty at the posted posts. Anyone transporting fir trees and pines must have documents confirming their purchase. The forest guards will also be armed with photo and video recording cameras. A fine is provided for unauthorized felling of a fir tree: from 5 to 30 basic units for an individual, from 20 to 200 for an individual entrepreneur, and from 50 to 300 for a legal entity.
