Abstract

This Regulation ensures the financing of sustainable management of forest resources through compulsory provision of funds. Timber trade must ensure that logged timber is measured according to the Forest Act; measurements do NOT apply to the extraction of timber for agricultural and forestry-related activities. The Forest Fund is tied to a property and may not be pledged as security or collateral. Its forest fund may be utilized for silviculture measures (planning, management and implementation); for afforestation, including planting and seeding, as well as necessary and post-production (land demolition, vegetation control, supplementary measures, etc.) , for the creation of fields for Christmas trees and ornamental foliage production; and for the quality and production measures, including care of young trees, pruning, fertilizing, injury prevention measures, and supplementary ditching.
