It should be noted that the choice as wood symbol of a bear considerably was influenced also by letters with which artists, especially young, works accompanied. Here some of them.


“ The Bear - the patron and the defender of the wood... Our ancestors treated with big respect a bear... “ (Natasha Belyavskikh, 7, Pskov), “... he is the largest, most beautiful animal in the wood, protects weak animals and the wood from angry people “ (Katya Hristyu - chenko, 9 years. Stavropol Krai). “ Its quiet and balanced character won to it fame of a wise and kind animal... “ (Elena Malakhova, 11. Magadan region). And Tatyana Vinokurova from the Kirov region fairly noticed: “ No matter, what animal or a bird will be a symbol, the main thing that this symbol called for conservation and love to it “.
