TU JE GOZD DOMA
Slovenski gozdovi so dobro ohranjeni in biotsko bogati. So rezultat pestrih naravnih danosti ter načrtnega in strokovnega gospodarjenja z njimi.
Gozd predstavlja zapleten ekosistem, ki se počasi razvija. Nepremišljeni posegi človeka lahko gozdove razvrednotijo in opustošijo za več generacij. Zato mora biti gospodarjenje z njimi načrtovano in dolgoročno. V Sloveniji ima načrtno delo z gozdovi že dolgo tradicijo, saj je bil prvi načrt za Trnovski gozd izdelan že leta 1771.
V Sloveniji z gozdovi gospodarimo sonaravno, trajnostno in večnamensko. S takšnim načinom upravljanja z gozdom smo vzor številnim evropskim državam. Gozdarji skupaj z lastniki gozdov skrbijo, da bodo gozdovi ostali ohranjeni in vitalni tudi za naše vnuke.
Leta 1875 so gozdovi pokrivali 36 % ozemlja današnje Slovenije. Obseg gozdov se je nato povečeval in danes gozdovi poraščajo več kot 58 % površine naše države. Če upoštevamo zgolj naravne pogoje, brez vpliva človeka, bi lahko gozdovi pokrivali najmanj 93 % površine Slovenije.
THE HOME OF THE FOREST
Slovenian forests are well-preserved and biodiverse. They are a result of natural diversity and planned, professional forest management.
The forest is a complex ecosystem that evolves slowly. Reckless human interventions can cause degradation and devastation of forests for several generations to come. That is why forest management must be planned and long-term. In Slovenia, planned forest management has had a long tradition, as the first plan for the Trnovski gozd forest was made as early as in 1771.
In Slovenia, forest management is nature-friendly, sustainable and multi-purpose. With this kind of forest management we are an example to several other European countries. Foresters and owners make sure the forests stay well-maintained and vital also for our grandchildren.
In 1875, forests covered 36% of the territory of today’s Slovenia. After that, the size of forests gradually increased, and nowadays forests cover over 58% of the surface of our country. Taking into account natural conditions only, without human impact, forests could cover at least 93% of the surface of Slovenia.
