In the ancients of these forests, trees and shrubs grew luxuriantly without human interference. No one wanted them, planted them, nurtured them, dusted them with chemical preparations, cleaned them up, but no one destroyed them either. The trees grew strong and powerful, resistant to winds and storms, to Frosts, heat and drought. Their strong roots were stuck in fertile and moist soil. Where the eye could see - everywhere there was a dark ribbon of forest..." (introduction)
