The aim of the project is to form a sustainable practice of environmental volunteerism in Kostanay region through the creation of a demonstration site (greenhouse) and practical training activities on sustainable agriculture, biodiversity and environmental education.

The project is being implemented with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan under a state grant.

According to Nauryzbek Birmagambetov, head of the Neco Ecological Club Public Foundation, the project is directly related to the tasks of Taza Kazakhstan.

— There are several directions that our project corresponds to. These are the creation of infrastructure for separate waste collection, landscaping and interaction with the non-governmental sector. We want this platform to become an example of how environmental initiatives can work in practice," he said.

The first greenhouse will be dedicated to plant biodiversity. Phacelia, esparcet, St. John's wort, motherwort and other crops useful for insect pollinators will be grown in the beds. Soon, 100 species of such plants will bloom here.

— We want to show children, youth, beekeepers and agricultural producers what plants exist, how they are useful and what products can be obtained as a result of their cultivation. An information plaque with a description and examples of its use will be placed under each plant," the speaker said.

The Department of Social Development, the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Ecology, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Entrepreneurship and the Department of Internal Policy are involved in the implementation of the project. Volunteers, soldiers of the Zhasyl El detachment and students of specialized specialties also take part. In the future, they plan to involve schoolchildren and young people in the work.
