Wood grouse courting songs are being logged in forests run by JSC “Latvia’s State Forest”.

Spring delights with its full bloom, trees become greener and bird songs – louder. Many species are already nesting. However, there is a special migratory bird, which spends winters in tropical Africa and returns to the forests of Kurzeme only in the first half of May, when its main sources of food – small ants, their eggs and pupae – are abundant in nature.

The joint-stock company “Latvia’s State Forests” (LVM) has presented awards to 12 laureates, the winners of the three stages of the State Environmental Project Olympiad, at the Mežaparks Exhibition Hall. Cūkmens (Pigman), the protector of clean forests and nature, also arrived to congratulate them.

The joint-stock company “Latvia’s State Forests” concludes the Mammadaba Cartoon Mornings – educational film screenings and events telling children about nature and its miracles. The season’s final screening will feature an exciting 2010 animated French film – “My Little Planet”. Before the screening, the audience will be visited by Cūkmens (Pigman) himself.
