LIFE ADAPT BRDY INVOLVEMENT
In the first project phase, an operational forest inventory will take place to create a basis for changing management in the entire area of interest. It will be followed by the preparation of the framework guidelines for management (FGM), prepared by the Forestry and Game Management Research Institute (FGMRI). The project expects that its achieved results and experience verified by practice will be passed on by VLS CR in cooperation with partners through professional events and publications to other forest managers not only in the Czech Republic.
