Support for forest owners from MoA resources

The Ministry of Agriculture supports forest management in the form of services for forest owners and in the form of financial contributions. The services for forest owners include fire-fighting services, both aerial and terrestrial. Then there is the Forestry and Game Management Research Institute, which provides an advisory service, for example, in the field of forest protection, called the Forest Protection Service. Aerial liming and fertilising are also included in the category of services.

Financial contributions from the MoA budget are provided for the restoration of forests damaged by emissions, skidding or dragging by horse and for processing forest management plans. In the area of game management, financial contributions are provided for users of hunting grounds and for breeding and training national breeds of hounds and birds of prey.
