It is planned to plant forests of industrial importance in Azerbaijan in the near future, stated Director of the Forest Development department of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources Aghagardash Garashov, Trend reports.
Fast-growing tree species will be planted for this purpose, so as to ensure that their wood will be of long-term use in the woodworking industry, he added.

“Therefore, we advise individuals, legal entities and entrepreneurs to plant fast-growing tree species on their land plots.
