Forest Department Participates in Snow Removal Operations

The Forest Department is actively involved in snow removal operations on roads in mountainous areas, utilizing fire trucks and agricultural tractors converted into snowplows. This effort aims to facilitate traffic flow for the public during the winter season, particularly in the Troodos National Forest Park, around the Holy Monastery of Kykkos and Stavros tis Psokas. Simultaneously, the Forest Department reminds visitors of the need to keep forest areas clean and respect the environment, flora, and fauna. It is emphasized that depositing waste or causing damage to forest vegetation carries severe penalties, such as imprisonment or a fine. Finally, the Department urges citizens to be careful, use appropriate vehicles, and follow the instructions of the Police.
