If you’re heading to a body of water by car, don’t forget about the Coast Guard.
“It is forbidden to park motor vehicles in coastal protection zones less than 25 m from the shore of a body of water. And when the state of the slope, the distance is calculated from the coast. Also, if the body of water is in a protected area, the distance to the water must be doubled, that is, at least 50 meters, ”says the head of the Kaunas Wildlife Protection Inspectorate of the Department of Environmental Protection, specialist Marijus Tomkus.

“The rules for visiting the forest stipulate that motor vehicles can only enter and follow the forest on roads. Vehicles can be parked in the forests only in designated parking lots or on the side of the road, ensuring the possibility that other vehicles drive on the road. When building a vehicle on the side of the road, it is necessary to try not to run on moss, lichens, traffic jams “, recalls M. Tomkus.
Illegal driving through grass, forest floor by motor vehicles carries a warning or a fine of 20-140 euros.

“Drivers should also be aware that an area in which, according to certain indications, motor vehicles are frequently driven or parked is not considered a road or a car park. So a meadow or the floor of a forest is not a path ”, adds the ecologist.
“When visiting the forest, it is important to note that the rules prohibit natural persons from making bonfires and using open fire (except for fireplaces installed in public recreation facilities and marked accordingly), throwing unquenched matches, smoking and other objects that can start a fire, “says L. Staliūnas.

Furthermore, says M. Tomkus, if the environment is not remedied immediately and it is established that actual damage has occurred, violators must compensate for the damage caused to the environment and the amounts in such cases can be considerable.
