„I have recently visited the Taul Park from the Donduseni district – the biggest  park arboretum from Moldova. I urged the mayoralty of Taul to apply for the Environment Fund, in order to get the financing needed for the conservation and turning to good account of the rare species of trees and bushes present here.
