Here you can find all types of forests: coniferous, mixed, broad-leaved, as well as forest-steppe and cultivated steppe. More than 1.15 million hectares are occupied by forests. The most valuable forests are coniferous, which occupy 53% of forest areas. There are up to 80 species of trees and shrubs in the forests. Total timber reserves are about 138 million cubic meters.

The territory of the Bryansk region is covered with a fairly dense river network - there are more than 120 rivers with a total length of 9 thousand km. Almost all rivers belong to the basins of the Black and Caspian Seas. Almost all rivers in the region flow into the Dnieper and its tributaries. The main river of the region is the Desna.

The region has significant reserves of natural raw materials (cement raw materials, carbonate rocks, glass sands, clays, tripoli, chalk) for the building materials and glass industries, developed peat reserves, and phosphate-containing ores for the production of mineral fertilizers. In total, there are up to 80 deposits of various mineral raw materials in the region.

The main wealth of the Bryansk region is its peat reserves, which are 1.4 times greater than the reserves of the Oryol, Kaluga, Tula and Kursk regions combined. Peatlands spread over 82 thousand hectares, and taking into account forest peat deposits, their area reaches 125 thousand hectares. In total, there are over 630 peat deposits in the region, the largest: “Kozhanovskoye”, “Rekta” in the Klintsovsky district, “Chistoe”, “Teploye” - in Bryansk, “Vyazovskoye” - in Zhukovsky.

Dyatkovo is a village with city status

This village has been known since 1626. City status was received already in 1924. At the moment, the total number of residents is about 26.7 thousand. At the same time, the trend is negative, which is primarily due to the lack of places for employment and weak prospects. The majority of the population (98%) are Russians.

The main city-forming enterprise is the Dyatkovo Crystal Factory. Its products are widely known not only in Russia, but also abroad. Thanks to this plant, it was possible to erect a unique temple, the Burning Bush, where the only crystal iconostasis in the world was installed. The point is also widely known for its sources. In recent years, natural and architectural attractions have begun to be revived, and interest in the original crystal museum has increased. All this creates good potential for the development of the tourism industry.

Starodub - ancient and small in number

Today the number of people living in Starodub (as of 2018) is 18 thousand people. This is an ancient city, the exact date of its foundation is unknown. It has been established that in 1080 we were already talking about a fairly powerful settlement. In the past it was the center of the Seversk land. The property of this place is the layout that has been preserved since ancient times, which makes it easy to reconstruct ancient settlements.

The city-forming enterprises belong to the food industry. Starodubsky cheese and canned food are produced here. Previously, bread and local sausages were produced here. At the moment, both companies have gone bankrupt. The city's greatest potential is related to tourism, but for this it needs to be developed.

There are several factories operating in the village, including those producing electrical parts, but most are in a state of outright decline. Nothing concrete is known about the possibility of restoring the city through tourism.
