Winter Project Season Open
02/05/2018
Wait! The season of winter projects is open!
Today was launched our first project this year - the winter project "Baikal Railways." The company of glorious children from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Irkutsk and China has already managed to walk along sunny Irkutsk, tomorrow they will go to get acquainted with the atmospheric tunnels of the Circum-Baikal Railway, and then cross the Baikal ice and get to the end point of the project - the Baikal Reserve.
BBT volunteers in the reserve are looking forward to it. There they have a lot of work in store - from developing a winter tourist route and compiling booklets for foreign tourists to harvesting huge snowdrifts of snow, which is always abundant in the Baikal Reserve
Clear (albeit frosty - it's still Siberia!) Weather, friends, good mood and fun adventures!

The first winter BBT project of 2018 "Baikal ways" was completed.
02/22/2018
The first winter BBT project of 2018 "Baikal ways" was completed. It took place on the territory of the Irkutsk region and the Republic of Buryatia, affected Irkutsk, the village of Old Angasolka, Kultuk, Slyudyanka, Tankhoy.
On the first day of the project, a tour of Irkutsk was organized for the volunteers, which ended with a tasting of the traditional Buryat dish - pos.
Then the group arrived on the shore of Lake Baikal - the village of Old Angasolka, where the participants studied the Circum-Baikal Railway and the development of information stands for the Baikal National Park (http://baikal-1.ru/).
Walking on the Circum-Baikal Railway and walking to Kultuk on the ice of Lake Baikal did not leave anyone indifferent.
On this day, the BBT team held a BBT evening for volunteers - they talked about the organization's activities, ecotourism and volunteering on Lake Baikal.
The group spent most of the project in Tankhoy, working for the Baikal Reserve.
Here is what the group worked on:
1. Collection of information for information stands in the reserve
2. Formation of proposals for the winter route. To do this, a group led by reserve employee Ivan Vasilyevich made an exploration-walk on real hunting skis with a camus in the winter taiga.
3. Development of environmental education classes for primary school students. The theme is Bears. Three "stations" were developed: a quiz about bears, an active game with an eco-tale, and a station for handicrafts.
4. Development of the project and proposals for the summer children's route "In Debri Fairy taiga."
5. Translation of the rules of visiting the reserve into English and Chinese.
6. Design of entrance tickets to the reserve.
7. Snow clearing.
8. The group shared with the reserve their suggestions for improving its work, photos from the project, and wrote reviews.
9. Develop and conduct an educational meeting with senior students from local schools. Theme: volunteering. Three stations were organized: at the first BBT volunteers from the central regions of Russia shared their experience in various projects and said why this is important. The second station was foreign - visiting volunteers talked about their foreign experience of participating in volunteer projects. The third was a video station, the BBT team leader arranged a screening of educational videos about volunteering and BBT. About 40 schoolchildren attended the meeting, it is pleasant that they liked the event and they discovered a lot of new things.
In total, 13 people took part in the project, including local residents.
In addition to work, there was a rest. Walks on the Circum-Baikal Railway and on the ice of Lake Baikal, acquaintance with the ethno-town of the Baikal Reserve and the Museum of Nature. One evening a gastronomic evening was arranged - the volunteers sculpted real Buryat poses, as well as dumplings and dumplings. An excursion to the new Baikal Reserve visit center and a ski trip through the winter taiga left the group with the most vivid impressions!
We thank the staff of the Baikal Reserve for the warm welcome and attention to the volunteers!
The project was carried out using a grant of the President of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society provided by the Presidential Grants Fund

BBT specialists at the College of Service and Tourism told students about volunteering, Baikal and BBT.
In the future, these students will probably work as guides and tour operators on Lake Baikal, and it is useful for them to know the geography of the region, the Baikal SPAs, as well as the principles of ecotourism and types of environmental volunteering.
We are grateful to the Angara branch of the Irkutsk College of Economics, Service and Tourism (ikest.obrazovanie38.rf) and personally Irina Solomina for the invitation to speak to the children as part of the week of volunteering in the institution.

The brand "BBT" is registered
03/09/2018
Once upon a time, in 2016, the team of our Interregional Public Organization made a common and very important decision - to register the Great Baikal Trail brand. In early March, we began to prepare relevant documents, interact with a lawyer and develop an emblem, which for many years was to become our trademark.
We were warned that this is a long process. And indeed, many letters were written and many documents were sent to Moscow, Berezhkovskaya Embankment, 30 Federal Service for Intellectual Property.
And now, two years later, we received a document stating that the Big Baikal Trail Interregional Public Organization is the copyright holder of the Big Baikal Trail name and logo with an image of our beloved Baikal. Our logo (emblem) You, dear friends, have probably known for a long time. We started using it as soon as we developed it, and it is posted on our website, on the t-shirts that we give to volunteers, on all our printing products and souvenirs.
Many thanks to everyone who supported us at every stage of this difficult procedure. We express our gratitude to the Tourism Agency of the Irkutsk Region in the person of the head Ekaterina Slivina and the FSBI "Baikal Reserve" in the person of the deputy director Irina Lyasot for the letters of support provided, the International Center for Responsible Tourism in the person of Natalia Dronova for a lawyer and many others who believed in us.

From March 9 to March 15, the business trip of the head of the BBT corporate programs department Sofya Kotselyabina to Moscow took place.
Sophia represented our organization at the Intourmarket International Tourism Exhibition, which was held from March 10 to 12 at the Crocus Expo exhibition center.
The round table "Responsible Tourism - Basic Principles and Concepts of Promotion" was held, which was organized by the International Center for Responsible Tourism in the Russian Federation under the leadership of Natalia Dronova. The participants presented various projects - the restoration of churches and villages. Sophia spoke about the work of the BBT organization in the Baikal region.
Sophia presented at the exhibition the products of the creative department of BBT Lesnaya Lavka - crafts of Baikal masters and not only.
We thank the tourism agency of the Irkutsk region in the person of Ekaterina Slivnaya for their support and the opportunity to participate in the exhibition, and of course Natalia Dronova for the invitation to the round table and the opportunity to talk about her experience.
Sophia also visited the VDNKh House of Crafts lecture hall (Pavilion No. 47), where the Primary and Secondary exhibition was held, telling about the pictorial language of special people - people with mental features.
The exhibition presents more than 100 creative works created by the artists of the workshop "Special Ceramics" - a permanent resident of the VDNH Craft Park. "They also showed me the 'work shop', where everything happens from the beginning of the idea of the product to firing," said Sofya.
Soon, the workshop authors plan to hold a webinar for those who want such projects in their own city.

"Island in the ice"
03/26/2018
Last week, our second project this year was completed - the winter project "Island in Ice"
It's easy to guess from the name exactly where the project took place - by itself, on the island. And what is the largest island on Lake Baikal? - Of course, Olkhon.
Our volunteers spent more than a week in the village of Khuzhir on March Olkhon, where they managed to enjoy the winter Baikal beauty in plenty (yes, winter is still at the beginning of March on Baikal!) And work hard for fame.
The guys participated in the preparation of the Blue Ice Classical Music Festival, which has been organized by its inhabitants on the island for several years, and where musicians from different regions of our country gather. One of the features of the festival is that part of the performances takes place directly on the ice of Lake Baikal. Volunteers built a platform for artists (shovels, brooms, chisels, saws and neatly cut bricks of Baikal ice were used), and then helped organize the performances themselves.
On other working volunteer workdays, the friendly BBT team, led by masters Danil and Lena, was engaged in wall decoration at a local comprehensive school, and also took part in painting the music school (volunteers from our other winter project started repairing it a year ago). And the guys devoted the last working day to the repair of the music hall in Nikita Bencharov's Estate - they painted the walls, floor and even the ceiling. We are sure that more than one village event will take place in the renovated hall and more than a dozen local residents and guests of the island will gather for a pleasant occasion.
On the day off, volunteers visited the northern part of Olkhon. We admired the stunning transparent turquoise ice, were able to explore the mysterious grottoes, which are difficult to get to most of the year, heard the legends of the island of Olkhon and Cossack songs, saw the majestic cape Khoboy "from the water" (more precisely, from the ice of the lake).
Once after work, the guys went on a hike to check how the Second Key spring, which was cleared by our volunteers and residents of Khuzhir last fall, is doing in the forest outside the village. Klyuchik feels great, and BBT, as part of winter projects, is developing an information stand on how important it is to keep springs.
In general, the BBT project "Island in the Ice" went well - both the volunteers and the organizers were satisfied, happy, impressed by the beauty of winter Baikal and each other. 18 volunteers took part.
Many thanks to the entire staff of the Manor Nikita Bencharov, who warmly received our team! Special thanks to her hospitable owners Nikita and Natalya Bencharov and talented masters Danil and Lena for their attention and help in organizing work and leisure on the project.
The project was supported by the Presidential Grants Fund.

Volunteers built a platform for artists (shovels, brooms, chisels, saws and neatly cut bricks of Baikal ice were used), and then helped organize the performances themselves.
On other working volunteer workdays, the friendly BBT team, led by masters Danil and Lena, was engaged in wall decoration at a local comprehensive school, and also took part in painting the music school (volunteers from our other winter project started repairing it a year ago). And the guys devoted the last working day to the repair of the music hall in Nikita Bencharov's Estate - they painted the walls, floor and even the ceiling. We are sure that more than one village event will take place in the renovated hall and more than a dozen local residents and guests of the island will gather for a pleasant occasion.
On the day off, volunteers visited the northern part of Olkhon. We admired the stunning transparent turquoise ice, were able to explore the mysterious grottoes, which are difficult to get to most of the year, heard the legends of the island of Olkhon and Cossack songs, saw the majestic cape Khoboy "from the water" (more precisely, from the ice of the lake).
Once after work, the guys went on a hike to check how the Second Key spring, which was cleared by our volunteers and residents of Khuzhir last fall, is doing in the forest outside the village. Klyuchik feels great, and BBT, as part of winter projects, is developing an information stand on how important it is to keep springs.
In general, the BBT project "Island in the Ice" went well - both the volunteers and the organizers were satisfied, happy, impressed by the beauty of winter Baikal and each other. 18 volunteers took part.
Many thanks to the entire staff of the Manor Nikita Bencharov, who warmly received our team! Special thanks to her hospitable owners Nikita and Natalya Bencharov and talented masters Danil and Lena for their attention and help in organizing work and leisure on the project.
The project was supported by the Presidential Grants Fund.

The project "To the taiga region of the Baikal Region" has ended.
Let me remind you that this is a transit project that ran from Bolshoy Koty to Bolshoy Goloustnoye. The project moved the camp 5 times as repair work on the trail was completed.
For 14 days, the team did a great job:
- the path and the stairs after Bolshie Koty were cleared
- steps, a drainage system were installed, a bridge-bridge was cleared, and a spontaneous trail on the ascent to the Skriper cliff was closed
- set the tours on the descent from Scripper, and also made stone steps on the descent to the beach
- 150 m of a new trail were built on the site leading to Cape Sobolev
- set table and benches in the Lower Bay
- a ravine on the trail was strengthened, and clearing of fallen trees between the metro station Bolshoy Kadilny and the village of Bolshoi Goloustnoe
