Sale of the logging rights of a growing forest means that

• the forest owner sells the growing forest from his property in the amount that is regulated by the Forest Act,
• the land under the forest remains the forest owner’s property,
• the buyer, purchasing the logging rights of the growing forest, organizes the logging.

Sale of the logging rights of the growing forest is an intermediate option for logging, organized by the forest owner and the sale of the property. It is especially important that the forest owner should familiarize himself in detail with all the forestry related legislation, so that in the contracts, drawn between the buyer and seller, each party’s rights and obligations would be fair. However, this is a difficult dilemma, because the seller wants to make maximum profit and the buyer wants the maximum amount and quality of goods in return. Often, problems arise in the interpretation of the right to cut the growing forest, as the buyers try to turn the risks of the results on the shoulders of the forest owner, after the contract has entered into force. Also, the laws in this area are regulated only to a certain extent, which does not provide adequate protection for the forest owner. So, we can conclude that the forest owners need specialized skills while selling

What should be remembered, when the forest owner plans to selle the growing forest:

• he should have at least elementary knowledge about forestry,
• he should be familiar with the Forest Act and with related legislation,
• price is not always the only evaluation criterion, while evaluating the offer,
• general evaluation of the property and measuring the remaining growing forest after the completion of logging operations,
• ensure that the buyer of the logging rights has enough experiences and is able to explain to you the risks involved in the sale of these rights,
• the more detailed the contract to transfer the logging rights to another party is, the smaller is the risk of the forest owner.
