Invitation to participate

In order to learn how to plant trees and participate in the trees planting campaign, Latvian Olympians on 20 February invited a prominent Latvian forester Aija Zviedre.
Aija Zviedre approvingly appreciated the "Olive branch project" and club members' desire to participate in it. Discussions were very interesting. The club library has been enriched by the author's book "Trees and bushes in Latvian woods and in open country".
