Zonal Nature Trips: Active Summer 2026 Across Russia

At the end of June 2026, three regions of Russia took part in the Zonal Active Summer 2026 nature trip project. In the Central region, six SSSIO members and two children gathered in the Culture Park of the Moscow region, joining an online meeting with other regional teams before collecting garbage along the park’s paths. One of the reginal group continues feeding people in need in the city every week.

In late June, members of SSSIO from two cities in the Caucasus region took part in organizing food for those in need in the Central region. The participants prepared 22 liters of cabbage soup and 18 liters of tea, feeding 40 people, including blind residents and wheelchair users, as well as patients at a social center. At the same time, 25 participants in the “Clean Planet” project in the Caucasus region cleaned the seashore, collecting 27 bags of garbage; another center fed stray dogs.

In the Ural region, 40 people from four cities, including 23 members of the public and 19 children, held a Day of Cleanliness. In one city, volunteers redecorated a home’s grounds and held a happiness lesson for children, while a six-person team in another city collected seven bags of garbage before joining the Zonal broadcast. In other cities, SSSIO members tended garden plots, cared for family graves, and planted bushes despite rain. In three cities in the region, the day ended with a joint video call, bhajans, and a tea party.
