Oksana Strichko, an expert from IRCEF and the head of the Nature Conservancy club, conducted an educational session on primroses for preschoolers at the development center. The primary objective of the class was to instill in children an understanding of the significance of flowering as a critical phase in the life cycle of plants, emphasizing the importance of treating this period with utmost respect.
During the captivating presentation “Let’s Save Primroses!”, the young students were introduced to a wide variety of early spring flowers. Oksana Strichko highlighted that primroses are not only visually appealing but also serve a practical purpose by providing nectar, pollen, and seeds to forest inhabitants awakening from their winter slumber. The teacher explained how rare many primrose species are, with some close to extinction and listed in the Red Book of Ukraine. She warned against picking, trampling, or harming these delicate flowers.
Primrose is a precious gift from nature, signaling the start of spring and beautifying our forests. Oksana Strichko stated that we should respect and protect this unique beauty. She urged the children to form a bond with nature, recognizing its marvels and experiencing happiness through their interactions with the natural world.




The event was held within the framework of cooperation between the Interreligious and Civil Environmental Forum of Eastern Europe (IRCEF) headed by Olexander Bokotey) and the German Nature Conservation Union (NABU Bundesverband, NABU International), project coordinators Ivan Tymofeiev (NABU), and Nataliya Kulya (IRCEF).
