The National Association of Private Forest Owners “Gorovladelets” began its activities in 2002. It was established following the restitution of forests and the reactivation of forest cooperatives and associations after 2001. These entities are the successors of those that existed prior to 1945.According to its founding statute, the main goal of the Association is to protect the interests of forest owners and their representatives. It also aims to collaborate with governmental and non-governmental organizations and institutions, parliamentary committees, and similar bodies, both nationally and internationally, for the development and implementation of regulations and decisions governing the management and stewardship of private forests.Our Association is a voluntary union of individuals and legal entities. It is a non-profit legal entity established to carry out activities of public benefit.The fundamental principles guiding all our work are: 1. Voluntary membership; 2. Election and term limits for governing bodies; 3. Periodic accountability of governing bodies; 4. Transparency of decisions and all activities of the Association; 5. Political and trade union independence.Our primary members are forest cooperatives and associations that represent tens of thousands of forest owners possessing undivided shares of forest land. We also include individual private forest owners among our members.The Association is primarily used as a platform for exchanging information, experience, and best practices among its members. It cooperates with local authorities and organizations to support initiatives and decisions related to private forests and their use. It participates in national and international programs, councils, projects, and initiatives in the field of private forests and their sustainable development, ecology, integrated nature-based and multifunctional forest management, and fostering ecological awareness among forest owners.The Association maintains contacts with national and international non-governmental organizations focused on forestry and environmental goals. It also takes part in and supports the development and implementation of legislation and decisions concerning the structure, management, use, and sustainable development and protection of private forests at all possible levels.Since its inception, a representative of the Association has regularly participated in the drafting of the Forest Act and its subordinate regulations, as well as in subsequent amendments over the years.
