Historical overviewHistorical overview forestry has been an issue of great importance in
the area of Central Europe for many centuries
in Slovakia, origin of forest management dates back to the 13th century (1250 - decree of the King Bela IV dealing with the duties of foresters)
1573 – Maximilian Forest Order (the first regulations for saving of forests)
1769 – Theresian Forest Order (the most progressive piece of forestry legislation in whole Europe at that time)
1879 – the first legal provision dealing with management of forests according to the forest management plans
nowadays, forestry has achieved recognition as a global issue and sustainable multi-purpose forestry has become the government’s policy
