Forest of Krupina City (SK)

Company Forests of Krupina city is limited liability company, which was founded in October 1994. The mission of this company is purposeful and efficient management of around 4400 hectares of forests, in ownership of Krupina city. Forests are composed of 94 % broadleaved species - oak (Quercus spp.) ca. 44 %, beech (Fagus sylvatica) ca. 33 %, hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) - ca. 9 %. The annual cutting rate amounts to approximately 12 000 m3. The overall management aim for our company is to optimise the total value of all ecosystem services available rather than maximising single service. The main silviculture aim is to preserve the oak-dominated character in our forests and at the same time to maintain climate resilience of the forest ecosystems.
