Abstract

This Regional Act concerns the management of regional forestry resources and regulates the interventions to be undertaken in matter of reforestation, development of sylviculture and timber production. The Region shall provide for the achievement of these aims directly or by granting subsidies (art. 1, par. 3). The Regional Council shall fund the forest restoration programmes submitted by Mountain Communities so as to encourage the territorial and hydrogeological rearrangement of woodlands and mountain areas (art. 2). Title II of the Act makes provision relative to the forestry domain (which is constituted by the territories referred to in art. 7, par. 1). The regional forestry domain shall be managed by the Regional Forestry Authority (art. 9). Title III regulates the elaboration and implementation of projects intended for reforestation and water re-arrangement initiatives. Title IV concerns the subsidies to be granted by the Region to promote afforestation and apiculture. Title VI lays down prohibitions in matter of woodland clearing and tree felling and sets out related penalties to be applied in case of violation.
