Rural students at this school constantly collect and recycle plastic, paper, scrap metal. They also help to maintain the order of several lakes, springs, small forest rivers, forest recreation areas. In their administrative district, students initiate educational work aimed at eco-friendly consumption to change consumer habits and form a "green" consciousness. To conduct this information campaign, students use the materials of the SPARE Program.

In addition, students are doing a lot of experimental work on energy-saving modernization of ordinary school and home devices: heating boilers, old garden tractors, cars for the children of their kindergarten. All these works were awarded with diplomas of SPARE in different years.

At the XII International Forum "Ecology", much attention was paid to the development of the northern territories of Russia.

The presentation aroused great interest and numerous questions not only from the invited participants, but also from the presenters. Valuev N. S. after numerous clarifying questions, highly noted the environmental activities of this school and presented the students with a volleyball ball with his autograph.

Of course, the events of the Forum were not limited to discussions alone. An extensive exhibition of technological achievements in the field of ecology was organized at these sites, which was attended by leading Russian companies involved in the environmental development of our country.

But every Forum member understood: "Environmentally sustainable development in the present and in the future is in the hands of each of us. And a special role is given to the environmental education of the younger generation."
