Ko nga ngahere te tino rawa o to tatou ao, he taonga na te taiao. Ko nga rakau ka kiia ko nga "maamaa" o te whenua mo tetahi take. Ka awhina ratou ki te horoi i te hau e manawahia ana e tatou mai i te paru, te puehu, te hihu me etahi atu poke kino, me te tiaki i te haruru o te taone. Ko nga rakau koniferous, hei taapiri, ka whakaputa i nga phytoncides - nga matū motuhake e whakapakari ana i te mate o te tangata me te whakangaro i nga pathogens.

The Constitution of the Federation guarantees its citizens freedom of movement throughout the country. This right also applies to forests. There is a special Forest Code of the Federation, where Article 11 says that you can stay in the forests absolutely free of charge. Thus, a person satisfies his needs: environmental, aesthetic, nutritional, health and a number of others, no less important. A person has the right, without obtaining prior permission and without paying any fees, to gather berries, nuts and mushrooms in the forest, to harvest medicinal herbs. Naturally, this does not apply to species listed in the Red Book and protected by the authorities. Citizens’ access may be completely prohibited or significantly limited only in the territories of defense or state security, as well as lands protected by the state. Sometimes prohibitions and restrictions are dictated by security considerations – sanitary, personal fire (for example, during forest work). The law does not provide for other grounds for a ban!
