The Wildlife Agency Carrying out Large-scale Works in Krtsanisi Forest Park

The Wildlife Agency of the Ministry of Environment Protection and Agriculture is working on the renewal and restoration of Krtsanisi Forest Park.

The existing unique flora and fauna are being maintained and red list plant species are being cultivated. In order to protect the trees from illegal logging and poaching, fencing works of 150 ha of Krtsanisi forest park area have been started.

The water pumping station will be located in the Krtsanisi Forest Park, designed by the Wildlife Agency, near the Mtkvari in the near future. It is planned to build a 100 kW solar power plant, an infiltration water drainage and a fishmonger, which will be implemented in stages this summer. 7 ponds dried up in the area will be restored and filled with fish. Up to 50 picnic locations will be arranged.

After large-scale work by the Wildlife Agency, the park will regain its most important function. Forest Park is a recreational space between Tbilisi and Rustavi. Moving to the park will only be possible on foot, by bike or by mini electric car.
