FOREST PROTECTION

Knowledge of the processes existing in nature and the control of natural forest environment allow the foresters to make an early diagnosis of dangers that could be harmful for the condition of the forest. Every year, the foresters take actions to preserve forest life and increase its natural resistance to damage-causing factors.

Forest protection is the basic branch of economic activity in Gubin Forest District. Its goal is to secure the forest against damage.

The dangers are divided into three groups:

- biotic - harmful insects, parasitic fungi, herbivorous mammals

- abiotic - droughts, strong winds, early and late frosts, snow, heavy rains, high and low temperatures

- anthropogenic - manmade fires, littering the forest, intense forest lands penetration by tourists and fleece collectors, industrial pollution.
