Karantenski škodljivi organizmi (KŠO) rastlin so organizmi, ki na območju EU niso prisotni oziroma so prisotni le v omejenem (obvladljivem) obsegu. V novi evropski zakonodaji s področja zdravja rastlin so med drugim opredeljeni seznami prednostnih KŠO, za katere mora vsaka država članica pripraviti načrte izrednih ukrepov za izkoreninjenje ob morebitni najdbi na njenem ozemlju ter te načrte redno testirati s simulacijskimi vajami. Karantenski škodljivi organizmi lahko povzročijo velike negativne gospodarske, okoljske in družbene učinke, zato je ob najdbi na območju EU potrebno njihovo takojšnje izkoreninjenje. Z namenom vpogleda v trenutno pripravljenost izvajalcev gozdarskih storitev za ukrepanje v primeru napada KŠO smo v septembru 2020 izvedli anketiranje v vzorec smo zajeli 11,8 % vseh registriranih izvajalcev gozdnih del v Sloveniji. Izvajalci največ informacij o KŠO pridobijo od strokovnega osebja na terenu, kar kaže na dobro delo gozdarske stroke v preteklosti, poleg tega so za informiranje o KŠO zaslužne tudi namenske projektne aktivnosti. V večini primerov (72,1 %) bi izvajalci o najdbi KŠO v gozdu najprej obvestili ZGS. Izvajalci del se v nasprotju z gozdarskimi strokovnjaki in študenti (anketa izvedena 2019) večinoma strinjajo, da je slovenska javnost dobro obveščena o KŠO. Več kot polovica izvajalcev (60,7 %) je izrazila pripravljenost za izobraževanje o KŠO (33,3 % le, če bi bila brezplačna), 66,4 % jih je zainteresiranih za vključitev v skupino za hitro ukrepanje ob napadu KŠO. Anketa kaže, da je ponudnikov pomembnih storitev za izkoreninjanje KŠO relativno malo % panje odstranjuje le 10,5 % izvajalcev, 18,8 % pa izvaja arboristične storitve in sečnjo na višini. Rezultati so pokazali na potrebo po nadaljnjem izobraževanju deležnikov prek strokovnega dela javne gozdarske službe in strokovnih nalog zdravstvenega varstva rastlin v gozdarstvu ter nadaljevanju uspešnih promocijskih in izobraževalnih projektnih aktivnosti (npr. LIFE ARTEMIS). Izobraževanje o KŠO je treba vključiti tudi v izobraževalne programe s področja gozdarstva. Quarantine pests are organisms that are not present in the EU or are present only in a limited (manageable) area. The new European legislation in the field of plant health introduced the list of priority plant pests and EU members have to prepare and keep up-to-date contingency plans and carry out simulation exercises. Quarantine pests can have a major negative impact on the economy, environment and society, so findings in the EU require immediate eradication. To gain insight into the current capacity of Slovenian forestry contractors to act, we conducted a survey in September 2020 the sample included 11.8% of all registered forestry contractors in Slovenia. They receive most information about quarantine pests from foresters in the field, which shows the effective work of Slovenian forestry and project activities related to quarantine pests. In most cases (72.1%), contractors would first inform Slovenia Forest Service about the discovery of a quarantine pest in the forest. In contrast to forestry professionals and students (2019 survey), contractors believe that the Slovenian public is well informed about quarantine pests. More than half of the contractors (60.7%) expressed their willingness to receive training on the topic (33.3% only if it were free), 66.4% are interested in joining a rapid response team for quarantine pest outbreaks. The survey shows that there are few forestry contractors that are important for quarantine pest eradication - only 10.5% of them offer stump removal, arboriculture services are provided by 18.8%. The results of our study point to the need to further educate stakeholders through the public forest service and specific plant health tasks, and to continue successful promotional and educational activities (e.g. LIFE ARTEMIS project). Education on quarantine pests should be included in the forestry curriculum.

V besedilu sta predstavljeni organiziranost in delovanje javne gozdarske službe na področju varstva gozdov, ki obsega dve inštituciji: Zavod za gozdove Slovenije (ZGS) in Gozdarski inštitut Slovenije (GIS). Opisana je tudi umeščenost varstva gozdov v slovenski sistem zdravja rastlin, ki ga vodi Uprava za varno hrano, veterinarstvo in varstvo rastlin. V letu 2020 sodelavci GIS in ZGS vodijo ali sodelujejo v naslednjih programih preiskav karantenskih organizmov v okviru sistema zdravja rastlin: brezov krasnik (Agrilus anxius), jesenov krasnik (Agrilus planipennis), kitajski kozliček (Anoplophora chinensis), azijski kozliček (Anoplophora glabripennis), borova ogorčica (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus), sibirska svilena kokljica (Dendrolimus sibiricus), bolezen tisočerih rakov (Geosmithia morbida in vektor Pityophthorus juglandis), borov smolasti rak (Fusarium circinatum), neevropski žagovinarji (Monochamus spp. (neevropski)), neevropski rilčkarji (Pissodes spp. (neevropski)), azijski ambrozijski podlubnik (Xylosandrus crassiusculus), fitoftorna sušica vej (Phytophthora ramorum). V preteklosti so sodelovali še v programih preiskav za: kostanjeva šiškarica (Dryocosmus kuryphilus), šarka (Plum pox potyvirus), rjavenje borovih iglic (Lecanosticta acicola), rdeča pegavost borovih iglic (Dothistroma spp.), hrastova uvelost (Bretziella fagacearum), zlatopegasti krasnik (Agrilus auroguttatus), borov črni rak (Atropellis spp.) in rjavenje plodov pravega kostanja (Gnomoniopsis smithogilvyi). Podrobneje je predstavljeno delo o šestih škodljivih organizmih in našteti so raziskovalno-strokovni izzivi, ki bi jih slovensko gozdarstvo moralo obravnavati, da bi uspeli uresničiti končni cilj, ki je zdrav in stabilen slovenski gozd. The inclusion of forest protection in the Slovenian plant health system, which is coordinated by the Administration for Food Safety, Veterinary Sector and Plant Protection, is discussed. Further, the Public Forestry Service, consisting of the Slovenian Forest Service and the Slovenian Forestry Institute, is described. In 2020, the Slovenian Forest Service and the Slovenian Forestry Institute, lead or participate in the following survey programmes: Agrilus anxius, Agrilus planipennis, Anoplophora chinensis, Anoplophora glabripennis, Dendrolimus sibiricus, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis, Fusarium circinatum, non-European Monochamus spp., non-European Pissodes spp., Xylosandrus crassiusculus, Phytophthora ramorum. In the past, the survey programmes for the following organisms were performed: Dryocosmus kuryphilus, Plum pox potyvirus, Lecanosticta acicola, Dothistroma spp., Bretziella fagacearum, Agrilus auroguttatus, Atropellis spp. and Gnomoniopsis smithogilvyi. In the following contribution, the work on six harmful organisms is presented, and the research and professional challenges that Slovenian forestry should address in order to achieve the ultimate goal of a healthy and stable Slovenian forest are listed.
