Résumé

This Law regulates the management and utilization of the Latvian "forest fund" which is composed of (1) forest and non-forest land allocated for use or transferred for ownership for forestry purposes; (2) forest land situated on land allocated for use or transferred into ownership for other purposes. Chapter 2 sets out the conditions for the transfer into ownership or for use (lease) of the forest fund. Land users may lease their land for forest or non forest purposes. If land is leased for forest management or utilization purposes, the lease holder is granted non-transferable rights of priority for various activities (listed in art. 32), including producing timber, hay, cattle grazing, collection of forest produce (berries, etc.). A licence to fell trees must be obtained before cutting trees on land leased for non-forest purposes. Forests are divided into 3 categories: (1) Protected forests (nature reserves, parks, etc.); (2) Restricted management forests (protected landscape areas, environmentally-sensitive areas); (3) Exploitable forests (all other forest). Specially protected forests may be designated within categories 2 and 3.
