Hunting management in the Forest District Krosno is integral component of forest management.
The Forest District develops a hunting policy based on several basic assumptions. These include: the priority of nature, environment and biological diversity protection and targets of permanently balanced forest, agricultural and fishing management. Hunting management using several dozen hunting game species acts in favour of the whole fauna and their natural habitats. On such assumption, the subject of the hunting management is population, rather than individual specimen.
The area of the Forest District is divided into 3 game shooting districts. Two districts are excluded from leasing activities and they constitute Animal Breeding Centre of the State Forests located in the area of the Forest District Krosno, and one district is leased by Military Hunting Association "Głuszec" from Krosno Odrzańskie.
The tasks of the Forest District regarding hunting management include:
• collaboration with the Hunting Association,
• making very precise inventory,
• giving an opinion and approving the annual plans of leased areas of game shooting districts development,
• improving the game living conditions of through: restriction of the anxiety in biotype, protection of the refugium and ensuring the feeding base by providing the accurate number of hunting plots, implementing to forest stands certain tree and shrub species, such as: oaks, beech, willows and wild trees and fruit bushes.
The forest areas of the Forest District Krosno are the place of staying of numerous animal populations – mainly stag, deer and wild boar. The result of this fact are damages, among others, made by hunting game – mainly tapping young trees and chewing trees.
