About area

The Volga Delta is the intersection of the flyways of numerous waterfowl and near-water birds. Astrakhan Nature Reserve is located within the global transcontinental migratory route of birds, which indicates the undoubted outstanding importance of the territory for the conservation of biodiversity. In order to preserve and restore the only indigenous type of woody vegetation, it is necessary to produce forests of white willow. In addition, unlike other stands, willow forests in the reserve are the habitat of a number of rare and endangered bird species listed in the Red Data Books of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the Russian Federation: Dalmatian Pelican, White-eyed Duck, Marble Teal, Saker Falcon, etc. On this Obzhorovsky site of the Astrakhan reserve, on an area of 5 hectares, on the right bank of the Ovchinnikov channel, 3125 white willow forest cultures will be planted. Planting dates are due to soil moisture, therefore planting is carried out at the end of April - beginning of May 2018, before the start of floods in the Volga delta. Placing crops 4 mx 4 m in 4 rows. The planting of crops is designed only along the edge of the riverbanks along the channels.

Dear friends! In the most difficult conditions of the zones of deserts and semi-deserts, in which the Volga delta is located, white willow was planted - the only indigenous species of forest stands, which is extremely important to preserve as a species and as a habitat for many animals and plants. That is why we are extremely grateful to everyone who helped restore the lost forest! The plantings currently maintain a ... normal survival rate, which in the fall of 2020 was 75%. In the spring, forest crops were supplemented. The locations of the plantings were flooded in spring, which should have a positive effect on the growth and development of seedlings. As we expected, crowns of young trees develop in the plantings above the reeds. Some trees grow from the root and their crown is located below. Planting 3-4 years, we already see the fruits of joint noble contribution to the preservation of willow forests of the Volga River delta! It is not a quick matter to grow a forest, but the results of monitoring the plantings of white willow forest cultures show that there will soon be a young willow forest in the place of the former burned-out areas.

Hello friends! We had an autumn inventory. The survival rate on the site is 85%, this is a good indicator. Supplement of forest crops is not required, since such survival rate does not have a negative effect on the closeness of tree crowns. Most of the young trees have already escaped from the captivity of the reed beds and so happy to observe them still young, not closed crowns. After a minimum of 5 years, a willow grove ... rises above the expanses of ferocious reed and will take under its crowns all for whom the white willow is home.
