About us
Druskininkai Forest Company was founded in 1951. It is a small piece of land on Lithuania's map. However life here goes on. Forestry operates 27 thousand ha of state forest, supervises 6 thousand ha of privatized but not restored to private owners forest. Middle-aged stands dominate in our forests (55%), young plantations comprise 20%, ripe wood - 11%. Major wood species is Pine (88%). We restore 120 ha of forest annually, raise same amount of young plantations. One of the most actual tasks for today is forests prevention from fire. Forestry observes the territory from fire-towers, 3 brigades of firemen supplied with special equipment and the means of communication are on duty during the most favorable period for fire. A big problem of last decade is forest insects-pests invasions. During the 1990-1996 years 22 thousand ha of forests were affected by insects-pests, 7000 of them were processed by biological preparation. In 2001 intense danger was infused with mass spread of Pine beauty (Panolis flammea Schif.). With help of aviation 11 thousand ha of forest were sprayed with biological and chemical preparations. Private and state forests were rescued.
The strategic objective of Druskininkai Forest Company is to secure sustainable and multipurpose management of the forests, to ensure protection and harmonious interaction of environment, biodiversity, landscape, natural and cultural values.
