Forestry & Tree Care in Context

The Czech Republic holds roughly 2.7 million hectares of forest — about 34% of the country's land area. Managing that resource responsibly requires an understanding of both ecology and law, practical craft and long-term planning.

Oakmerefield gathers working notes on arboricultural methods, forest stand management, pest and pathogen pressures, and the regulatory environment under Czech Act No. 289/1995 Coll. on forests.
