The buyer, during a period of up to three years, will be obliged to plant anti-erosion wooded strips in accordance with the new project for organizing the territory. The given provisions were approved by the Cabinet, IPN reports.

The wooded strips contribute to reducing the speed of wind, increase air and soil humidity, attenuate extreme temperatures in summer and winter, retain and uniformly distribute snow on farmland, stop erosion and increase soil fertility and prevent soil degradation, says the note to the bill.
