Dear colleagues,
We invite your company's volunteers to participate in a one-day volunteer cleanup by digging up hogweed, organized by JTI Russia in partnership with the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Nature (VOOP) of the Leningrad Region.
The event will take place on April 18, 2026.
Important information! Please note that we will hold an online kickoff meeting for representatives of registered companies on April 2, 2026, at 3:00 PM.
The volunteer event will take place at the N.K. Roerich Estate Museum in Izvara. This family estate in the Volosovsky District of the Leningrad Region is where Nicholas Roerich, the world-renowned Russian artist, thinker, writer, and traveler, lived. The estate is located in a specially protected area of the Leningrad Region, so the use of chemicals against hogweed is prohibited there.
Key details:
Date and time: April 18, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM (departure from St. Petersburg at 10:00 AM, return at 6:00 PM).
Location: N.K. Roerich Estate Museum, Leningrad Region, Volosovsky District, Izvara village.
Participants must be 18 years of age or older.
Format: Safe site cleanup (digging up hogweed shoots up to 50 cm tall with shovels) under the guidance of specialists, followed by photo and video reports for your PR channels.
Volunteers will be given a mini-tour of the N.K. Roerich Estate.
Space is limited; register by April 10 using this link.
By pooling our resources, let's get hogweed under control!
We look forward to your feedback!
Sincerely,
SPIBA
