Unfortunately, conditions for management have dramatically changed in the past years!

Currently it is up to the amount of approximately CZK 20 million. In 2018 logging had grown to approximately 105 thousand m3.
The company ensures complete forest care starting from silvicultural operations, through forest protection up to exploitation and renewal of forest stands. Annual cost of the silvicultural operations fluctuate around CZK 4 mil.
