Economic division of state forests — WFS

The economic division consists of: areas of forest management branches of HŠ d.o.o., forestry area HŠ d.o.o., areas of economic units for state forests, department — permanent division of state forests, section — basic division of state forests. Management of Forests is an organizational part of the company Hrvatske šume d.o.o. Forest management is entered in the court registers as subsidiaries of the Company. Branches are not legal persons. Forestry is the basic organizational unit for performing all professional and technical tasks in forest management. It is an organizational part of the Forest Management Board of the branch and operates under its supervision. According to the Forests Act, an economic unit is part of a forest-economic area which is, as a rule, adapted to the configuration of the terrain, the organisational needs of forest and road management, and includes one or more forest areas for which, as a rounded economic unit, a forest management plan is specifically drawn up. The economic unit is divided into divisions and sections, and the boundaries of the area of the economic units may be changed in the process of renewal and regular or extraordinary revision of the forest management plan with the approval of the ministry responsible for forestry affairs. The Department is a permanent basic unit of the economic division of forests and forest land within a particular economic unit. Departments are set up to facilitate management, supervision and orientation on the ground. The units in the economic unit shall be numbered, generally continuously from north to south and from west to east. The Department is the smallest variable unit of the economic division of forests and forest land within the department with which it is specifically managed as a stand. Stands are excreted in sections according to forest purpose, cultivation form, management method, development stage, tree species, age, management objective, mixture ratio and overgrown. All the above data are presented in the Croatian Terrestrial Reference System 1996 Transvers Merkator projections (HTRS96/TM).
