Abstract

This Regional Law establishes legal grounds for regulation of the issues of conservation and reproduction of protection forests on agricultural land pertaining to public property. Management and disposal of public agricultural land under protective forest plantations shall be performed by the Regional Government and authorized regional executive bodies in accordance with their competence. Performance of afforestation and reconstruction of protection forests shall be performed by the authorized institution by planting of saplings, seedlings, cuttings and conversion cuts. Afforestation arrangements shall be performed with instructions for projecting and growing protection forest plantations that must ensure: (a) protection of agricultural land against unfavorable factors; (b) soil improvement; and (c) environmental improvement. Economic and other activities on land plots under protective forest plantations not related to improvement of land conditions, should not lead to the deterioration of supply of water, air and nutrients to the soil.
