To fight against littering of the roadside and warn the drivers from being penalised for throwing waste out of the car windows (amount of fine, LVL from 50 to 500), Cūkmens, assisted by a group of supporters “Clean Forests”, launches a campaign “Don’t litter the roadside!“. Special road information signs warning the drivers and encouraging them to closer watch their own conduct in a few coming days will be posted on roadsides around the perimeter of Riga.

Having looked into all “pros and cons” AS “Latvijas valsts meži” decided to support the termination of the FFSC certificate in Latvian state forests unless the transparency of certification procedures and quality of the auditing process is radically improved. Currently, the FSC Audit Report is made public and most of reasons for the above decision are clearly outlined there.
