Novokuybyshevsk Refinery's eco-volunteers, together with the enterprise's veterans and students of Rosneft Classes, landscaped the territory of the city school and planted Siberian cedars on the territory of pre-school institutions and children's health camps. Schoolchildren from ‘The Movement of the First’ took part in the campaign. They also had a natural science lesson during the event.
