The largest number of projects were commissioned in the Polissya Forest Office (Klesivske, Liubomlske, Volodymyr-Volynske, Liubashivske, and Sarnenske Forestry Management Units ) and in the Karpatskyi Forest Office (Berehivske Forestry Management Unit) – 4 projects in each branch.

 

Additionally, the construction of 3 forest roads was completed in the Pivnichnyi Forest Office (Nizhynske, Chernihivske, and Horodnyanske Forestry Management Units). At the final stage of construction is a road in the Central Forest Office (Vinnytske Forestry Management Unit).

 

Why are new forest roads needed?

 

✔️ They provide quick access to resources, reduce transportation costs, which makes the cost of timber cheaper for consumers;

 

✔️ In case of forest fires or emergencies, large-scale machinery can quickly reach the ignition site;

 

✔️ In the mountainous areas of the Carpathians, the need for skid trails – hotspots of erosion processes – is reduced;

 

✔️ The work of forest protection services in patrolling forest areas is simplified;

 

✔️ The load on the local road network is reduced.

 

All works were carried out by contractors who won tenders through Prozorro and offered the best conditions. Modern technologies were used in construction, which extend the service life of forest roads. The projects are funded exclusively from the enterprise’s own resources.
