The constant decrease of world woods fund and forested regions is one of the world’s greatest ecological problems, with serious negative impact on the world economy, on the climate and on the human health, and it leads to extinction and reduction of some animal species. The Balkan is a region where this problem has bigger and more serious impact, especially because of the lack of constant and solid forestry management, both on local and on regional level. The fires which raged last year all over the region can only confirm that.
Forest care, accurate directing of woods managing, their renewal and reasonable usage is task set by the public enterprise "Makedonski sumi". Having into account that forests are natural property of common interest, and their managing is activity of public interest, regulated by the article 17 of The Law on Forests. This Law specifies our basic activities which are: growing, protection and usage of woods and with their managing the enterprise should provide permanent protection and woods value increase, as well as constant increase of their growth and their useful function. In 2007 the catastrophic fires spread on 35.248 hectares of forests. It was enough to disturb the balance and to decrease drastically the woods fund. The consequences of these fires will be felt for a long period because more than 50 years are needed for growing of tree.
According to program for realization of wood-growing tasks-spring foresting, the public enterprise "Makedonski sumi" will forest 1.100he, with 220.000 number of various plant material, of which 1.300.000 plants of own production. With this the public enterprise Makedonski sumi takes part in action “Day of tree” whish is held under motto ”Plant your future” which will be held on March.12.2008 on the whole territory of the Republic of Macedonia.
