Last weekend, ZapSibNeftekhim's employees and members of their families attended a master class on making bird houses. The workshop's primary objective was to facilitate installation of common-design birdhouses around Tobolsk in order to lure useful insectivorous birds and increase the abundance and species diversity of the local bird population.

The class was taught as part of the Houses for Birds volunteering project that is being implemented in Tobolsk thanks to SIBUR's Formula for Good Deeds social investment program serving as an important vehicle of children’s environmental, work-ethics and family education.
