Russian fashion magazine Felt Fashion recently included a wool-working master class organized by FLEG II as part of its efforts to develop an ecotourism economy in Bezhanitsy municipality in Western Russia. FLEG II, which promotes improved forest governance and sustainable forest management in Russia and six Eastern European countries, has been helping local businesses maximize the benefits from tourism to the nearby Polistovsky National Nature Reserve. This mention continues the string of successes FLEG has helped inspire in the region since beginning work there in 2009.
