The Volotova Green Route project was implemented thanks to a win in an open civil initiatives competition held by the Gomel Oblast Association of Local Councils of Deputies. The total funding amounted to over Br23.000, with 10% raised by local residents. The picturesque Volotova Lakes area now features swing benches, bird feeders, and a children's playground. This picturesque urban landscape in the heart of Gomel is expected to become a focal point not only for residents but also for visitors to the city.
