Sale conditions

Sale conditions of wood are specified by the regulation of Director – General of the Sate Forests.

Within the framework of the individual sale , the foresters try to meet the fast growing demand, because more and more people use wood in order to heat their houses. Contrary to general opinion, these are not only village people, even though they prevail among recipients. The growth of firewood demand is the result of occurrence of new housing estates built in the suburbs of large agglomerations, where houses are usually equipped in fireplace heating installations.

Firewood is not only the most ecological heat source, but also is much more attractive in respect of relation of price and electric efficiency, rather than cola, oil, gas or electric power.

In recent years, the Sate Forests increased the sale of firewood of one third – up to over 4 million cubic meters annually. Firewood is not only the most ecological heat source, but also is much more attractive in respect of relation of price and electric efficiency, rather than cola, oil, gas or electric power. Some of customers choose already prepared and cut into pieces wood, the others very willingly obtain it by themselves after arranging all details and fulfilling particular safety conditions, and after paying the fee; that concerns mainly so called "thinnings". Such a raw material is very cheap, that is why many people from village areas profit from such possibility.

ECOLOGICAL SITES

Ecological sites are the Romains of ecosystems that deserve protection and are of great importance for maintenance of biological diversity, f. ex. mid-forest water ponds, swamps, mosses and sites of rare plant, animal and mushroom species.

According to the register from 01.01.2002 there were 9 ecological lands on the area of Krosno Forest District of 29.94 ha. Adjustments and joining old lands and adding new ones resulted in seven ecological lands of much greater area: 50.19 ha. Four former lands were joined into "Great and Small Swamps of Gądków": Little Swamp of Gądków and Gądków Swamps I, II and III. Two new lands were founded: Ratnowskie Swamp and Crane Swamps. Currently 14 ecological lands exist. The 8th of them "Lake Moczydło Swamps" was established by the decision of Krosno Commune Council (24.08.2006). The following two, namely Ponds of River. Pliszka and Forest Sanctuary,were established in 2007. The following year witnessed the foundation of Skórzyn Sanctuary on the area of non-forest characteristic (6.01 ha).
