V letih 2020, 2021 in 2022 je potekala obnova območnih gozdnogospodarskih in lovskoupravljavskih načrtov (v nadaljevanju območni načrti), ki bodo usmerjali razvoj slovenskih gozdov do leta 2030. Zaradi vse zahtevnejšega upravljanja gozdnih ekosistemov in usklajevanja številnih interesov je sodelovanje deležnikov v postopku priprave in sprejemanja območnih načrtov ključnega pomena. Pri tokratni obnovi območnih načrtov je bil velik poudarek ravno na vključevanju lastnikov gozdov in drugih deležnikov v proces izdelave in sprejemanja načrtov. Formalno določeno participacijo smo nadgradili z aktivnejšim vključevanjem zainteresirane javnosti prek številnih predstavitev, delavnic, anket in sestankov. V letih 2020 in 2021 je bilo tako v sklopu priprave območnih načrtov, poleg zbiranja pobud in javne razprave ter javne predstavitve načrtov, dodatno organiziranih 73 delavnic na regionalni in nacionalni ravni, na katerih je sodelovalo več kot dva tisoč udeležencev. Zaradi preprečevalnih ukrepov zaradi epidemije bolezni covid-19 je večina participativnih aktivnosti v letih 2020 in 2021 potekala v spletni obliki, kar je pospešilo digitalizacijo gozdarstva. Nastala so številna orodja za digitalno sodelovanje, in sicer od novih programskih rešitev na spletni strani do široke implementacije in uporabe orodij za digitalno sodelovanje. Rezultati participativnih aktivnosti so bili vgrajeni v osnutke območnih načrtov. Nadgradnja participativnega pristopa in vključevanje zainteresirane javnosti že v fazi priprave osnutkov območnih načrtov sta prispevala k večji usklajenosti gozdnogospodarskega in lovskoupravljavskega dela območnih načrtov, večji kakovosti in izvedljivosti načrtov ter usklajevanju ekonomskih, ekoloških in socialnih vidikov upravljanja z gozdnimi ekosistemi. In the years 2020, 2021 and 2022, the regional forest management and game management plans (hereafter referred to as regional plans) are being revised they will guide the development of Slovenian forests until 2030. Due to increasing challenges in managing forest ecosystems and the need for harmonization of various interests, participation of stakeholders in the process of preparation of regional plans is of outmost importance. In the current revision of regional plans, a great deal of emphasis was given to the inclusion of forest owners and other stakeholders in the process of preparation of the plans. Formally defined participation was upgraded with more active involvement of the interested public through various presentations, workshops, surveys and meetings. In 2020 and 2021, in addition to the collection of initiatives and public debate and public presentation of plans, 73 workshops on regional and national level with 2000 participants were additionally organized as part of preparation of regional plans. Due to preventive measures due to covid-19, most of the participatory activities in 2020 and 2021 were carried out online, which accelerated the digitalization of forestry. Various tools for digital participation have been developed, from new software solutions on the website to the wide implementation and the use of tools for digital participation. The results of participatory activities were integrated in the drafts of regional plans. The upgrade of participatory approach and the inclusion of the interested public in an early phase of plan preparation contributed to greater coordination of forest management and game management part of the regional plans, to the greater quality and feasibility of the plans and to the harmonization of economic, ecological and social aspects of managing forest ecosystems.

Požar Goriški Kras, ki je vzplamtel 15. 7. 2022, pogašen pa je bil 29. 7. 2022, je doslej največji požar v Sloveniji, saj je zajel skupaj 3.707 ha površin, od tega 2.902 ha gozdov. Pogorela površina v Sloveniji in Italiji skupaj obsega okoli 4.500 ha. V intervencijo gašenja požara je bila že prvi dan nastanka požara vključena javna gozdarska služba, ki jo opravlja Zavod za gozdove Slovenije. Gozdarji so štabu za vodenje intervencije dali na voljo gozdarske karte z zarisom vseh prometnic. Zaradi dobrega poznavanja terena je bila glavna naloga ZGS sprva pomagati posameznim gasilnim enotam pri orientaciji v prostoru in usmerjanju po protipožarnih presekah in gozdnih cestah. V času največjega razvoja požara so bile naloge delavcev ZGS preusmerjene v sečnjo ob prometnicah in naseljih, kjer bi bilo mogoče ustaviti širjenje požara. V aktivnost so se vključili tudi gozdarji družbe Slovenski državni gozdovi (SiDG) in iz ZGS vpoklicani izvajalci sečnje in drugih del na protipožarnih presekah ter prostovoljci. Neposredna škoda v gozdovih je bila ocenjena na 24,9 milijona evrov, požar pa je pomembno prizadel tudi ekološke in socialne funkcije gozda The Goriški Kras fire which flared up on July 15, 2022, and was extinguished on July 29, 2022, represents the largest fire in Slovenia up to now since it engulfed a total of 3.707 ha of the areas, thereof 2.902 ha of forests. The whole burntarea in Slovenia and Italy covers about 4.500 ha. The public forestry service performed by the Slovenia Forest Service (SFS) was incorporated into the intervention on the first day of the fire. The foresters placed forestry maps with the delineation of all forest roads at the Intervention headquarters’ disposal. Due to their thorough terrain knowledge, at first, the main ZGS task was to help individual fire-fighting units with their spatial orientation and direct them on the firebreaks and forest roads. In the time of the maximum fire development, the SFS workers’ tasks were redirected into the execution of felling along the traffic roads and settlements where it could have been possible to stop the fire from spreading. The foresters of the Slovenian State Forests (SiDG) company and other forestry companies and works, called up by the SFS, and volunteers were incorporated into the activities. The direct damage in the forests has been estimated to 24.9 million EUR. Furthermore, the fire also significantly affected the ecological and social functions of the forest.

Prepoznavanje invazivnih tujerodnih vrst (ITV) na terenu in hiter odziv na nove najdbe ITV v gozdovih sta med ključnimi izzivi gozdarske stroke. Z namenom krepitve zmogljivosti za zgodnje zaznavanje tujerodnih vrst v gozdovih je bilo v okviru projekta Osveščanje, usposabljanje in ukrepanje za invazivne tujerodne vrste v gozdu (LIFE ARTEMIS), ki je potekal v letih 2016-2020, 33 izobraževanj po Sloveniji in eno v tujini. Skupno se je izobraževanj udeležilo 1.059 udeležencev. Izobraževanja so bila izvedena za izvajalce usposabljanj, strokovnjake, lastnike gozdov, prostovoljce in zaposlene v podjetjih, povezanih z gozdom. Izobraževalni cilji usposabljanj so bili doseženi. Analiza samoocenjevalnih vprašalnikov udeležencev izobraževanj je pokazala, da so bili pred usposabljanjem malo do srednje usposobljeni, po usposabljanju pa srednje do dobro. Pred usposabljanjem je manj kot polovica anketirancev vedela, kako se odzvati, ko opazijo ITV v gozdu. Po usposabljanju pa je to vedelo več kot 90 % anketiranih. Po usposabljanju za prenos sistema za zgodnje obveščanje in hitro odzivanje (ZOHO) v druge evropske države je več kot 80 % anketiranih odgovorilo, da so se naučili nekaj novega o ITV, 79 % anketiranih pa si želi tudi v prihodnje sodelovati v sistemu ZOHO. Udeleženci si v prihodnje želijo predvsem dodatnih znanj na področju prepoznavanja ITV ter več terenskih izobraževanj. V prispevku predstavljamo rezultate spremljanja uspešnosti usposabljanj in razpravo o morebitni potrebi po dodatnih usposabljanjih na področju obveščanja in hitrega odzivanja za tujerodne vrste v gozdnem prostoru. Identifying alien invasive species (IAS) in the field and fast response to new IAS findings in forests represent one of the key challenges of modern forestry. Aiming to intensify the capacities for early detection of non-native species in forests, 33 training courses in Slovenia and one abroad were performed in the framework of the project Awareness, Training, and Actions for Non-Native Species in Forests (LIFE ARTEMIS) project taking place in years 2016-2020. A total of 1,059 participants attended the training courses. The training courses were performed for the training performers, professionals, forest owners, volunteers, and employees in the companies, connected with the forest. The training goals of these training courses were achieved. The analysis of the self-evaluation questionnaires showed that the participants had been little to fairly trained before the training and fairly to well-trained afterwards. Before the training, less than half of the respondents had known how to respond when noticing IAS in the forest. After the training, over 90 % of the respondents knew it. After the training for transferring the early warning and rapid response (EWRR) system into other European countries, over 80 % of the respondents answered that they learned something new about IAS. 79 % of the respondents wish to take part in the EWRR system also in the future. The participants want, above all, additional knowledge in the field of IAS detection and more field training in the future. In our article, we present the results of the training success monitoring and the discussion about an eventual need for additional training in the field of informing and fast response for non-native species in the forest space.

V gozdnogospodarski enoti Preserje-Rakitna so na stalnih vzorčnih ploskvah (n = 194) analizirali kakovost bukovega drevja (n = 661). Uporabili so dva načina ocenjevanja kakovosti bukovega drevja: 1) standardni način, kot ga uporablja Zavod za gozdove Slovenije pri gozdnih inventurah, in 2) dopolnjeni način, pri katerem smo ocenjevali sortimentno strukturo v 1. in 2. četrtini debel. Kakovost bukovih dreves je bila relativno ugodna, saj je bilo v celotni lesni zalogi bukve kar 18 % furnirja in luščenca. Z modeliranjem so potrdili raziskovalno hipotezo, da na količino najkakovostnejših sortimentov najznačilneje vpliva premer dreves. Med 15 preučevanimi drevesnimi, sestojnimi in rastiščnimi znaki so bili v pojasnjevalni model kakovosti bukve vključeni še delež bukve v temeljnici sestoja, velikost krošnje, razsohlost, sestojna temeljnica, socialni položaj in razvojna faza (debeljak). Rezultati nakazujejo, da je standardni način ocenjevanja kakovosti bukve pomanjkljiv. Odkrili so tudi pomanjkljivosti pri terenskem ocenjevanju kakovosti drevja. Predlagane so izboljšave in predlog za transformacije ocen kakovosti ZGS v volumen sortimentov v 1. in 2. četrtini bukovih dreves. In the Preserje-Rakitna forest management unit, beech tree (n=661) quality was analyzed on permanent sample plots (n=194). Two methods of tree quality evaluation were used: 1) the standard method as used by the Slovenian Forest Service (SFS) during forest inventory, and 2) the supplemented method for evaluating timber assortment structure in the first and second quarters of tree trunks. Beech tree quality was relatively high the share of peeled and sliced veneer was 18% of the total growing stock. The research hypothesis thatthe most significant indicator of the quantity of high-quality assortment is the tree diameter at breast height has been confirmed through the use of statistical modeling. In addition to the 15 tree, stand and site variables examined, the beech quality explanatory model also included the following stand and habitat characteristics: share of beech in stand basal area, total basal area, crown size, tree forking, social status, and development stage. Results have shown that the standard method of beech tree quality evaluation is inadequate. Flaws in the carrying out of field quality evaluation have been found. Improvements in quality evaluation and ideas for the transformation of the SFS quality grades into assortment volumes in the first and second quarters of beech tree trunks have been proposed.
