Nature conservation support: State Forests to transfer 2% of timber sales revenue to national and landscape parks
The new regulations oblige the State Forests to transfer 2% of their timber sales revenue to support nature conservation. These funds will go to national and landscape parks as well as environmental protection authorities, enabling better care of Polish nature and the development of tourist infrastructure. For citizens, this means better-protected forests, a cleaner environment, and more attractive, safer places for recreation.
Key points
State Forests will make quarterly payments of 2% of timber sales revenue to the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOŚiGW).
The money will be used to finance nature conservation in national parks, landscape parks, and nature reserves.
The funds will help national parks cover their required own contribution (minimum 15%), unlocking millions of PLN in EU funding for ecological projects.
Projects directly aimed at the commercial use of harvested timber are excluded from this funding.
The new funds will support the creation of educational trails, tourist infrastructure, and the buyout of ecologically valuable private land within park boundaries.
The changes will not directly affect market timber prices or the financial stability of the State Forests.
