Decision No. 839, dated December 30, 2025 on the approval of norms, standards, basic prices, and best practices in the field of forestry.

The Decision introduces a standardized system of technical norms for all forestry activities, including reforestation, silvicultural maintenance, and the protection of forest ecosystems. These standards define the required methodologies for planting, thinning, and sanitary cutting, ensuring that interventions are conducted according to uniform professional criteria. It applies across the National Forest Fund, governing actions taken by both public authorities and private owners to maintain the structural integrity of forest lands.
Its central component is the definition of basic prices and labor performance norms for the forestry sector. By categorizing work based on terrain difficulty, slope gradient, and accessibility, the Decision provides a fixed mathematical basis for calculating project budgets and evaluating the efficiency of manual and mechanical labor. This system is designed to provide transparency in public procurement and to serve as a reference for the valuation of forestry services nationwide.
Furthermore, the Decision outlines best practices for environmental safety, focusing on the prevention of soil erosion and the mitigation of fire risks. It mandates specific technical requirements for the creation of firebreaks and the maintenance of forest infrastructure. Oversight of these standards is assigned to the National Forest Agency and local government units, which are responsible for monitoring compliance and ensuring that all forestry operations adhere to the prescribed ecological and technical parameters.
