May 18
Open Forest Day
To explain the most common myths to which the public is subject in connection with forest management. This is one of the main objectives with which the Association of Owners of Municipal, Private and Church Forests in the Czech Republic (SVOL) organizes the event "Day of Open Forests".
Everyone can go to the forest anytime, but there is only one day when owners of municipal, private, and church forests personally open their forests to the public. This year, the event called Open Forest Day, organized by SVOL and its members, will take place on Saturday, May 13, 2023. The owners of the forests have prepared guided walks in the forest, demonstrations of forestry work and reforestation, and examples of forest education. Come to the Open Forest Day event to learn all this and much more. You will have the opportunity to meet the forest owners, talk to them about how they take care of their forests and deal with climate change, and even try some forestry activities yourself. There will also be educational trails for children, demonstrations of heavy machinery and horses, meetings with foresters, and examples of their work. The event aims to show why it is important to manage forests and how non-state forest owners take care of them. The program of the event will vary depending on the size of the property and the possibilities of the individual members.
