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.
