Download service for forestry seeds: Boundaries of the areas of origin of tree species that are subject to the FoVG (according to the Forest Propagation Goods Origin Regulation, FoVHgV)

The download service provides the limits of forest areas of tree species subject to the Forest Propagation Goods Act (FoVG) for download via a WFS interface. The areas were established on the basis of the Ordinance on Areas of Origin for Forestry Propagating Material (Forest Propagating Material Origin Regulation, FoVHgV of 7 October 1994 (BGBl. I, p. 3578), as amended by the Ordinance of 15.1.2003 (BGBl. I p. 238)). However, only the limits of the ecological basic units for the demarcation of forest areas as defined in Appendix 1 to the above-mentioned Regulation are legally binding for the allocation of forest areas (see also “Basic ecological units for the delimitation of forest areas of origin”).
