The long term aim of forestry management in the NP is to reconstruct near-natural communities in places which
were modified by human activity into cultural forests with a significantly different species composition and a uniform
age and spatial structure. These renewed forest stands are then gradually integrated with the existing near-natural
forests and in this way a single, contiguous core zone is formed and left to natural development processes. The most
valuable parts of these natural communities (left to natural processes) form the current I. zone of nature protection
and around 15% of the areas on which renewal management is practiced are now included in the first
zone.
The concrete management strategy in individual forest stands is not only based on the current zoning but also
on the designated target
extent of stands to be left to natural development and the current condition of the stands (degree of
naturalness of the forest and the forest stand type).
In the management process emphasis is placed on leaving dead and rotting wood in the forest stands as it is an
integral part of the natural and near natural ecosystems. The aim is to maintain and form specific biotopes for
animals and plants, which are closely bound to these environments.
