The forest development strategy is a hierarchical set of actions specifying the ways to achieve three mutually integrated objectives: principal (strategic), tactical and operational. The principal objectives are formulated in the forest development control process and relate to forests understood as a whole, are long−term and determined by the forest and ecological policy of the state. The tactical objectives are formulated in the forest management regulation process, are medium−term (10 years) and refer to forest estates or forest management units. The operational objectives are formulated in the forest management planning process, are short−term (annual) and relate to economic activities performed in individual stands.
