Private Forest Act.

The Act concerns the proper use of forest resources on private lands. When devastation of a forest has occurred the forest shall be declared closed entirely or partly in order to ensure regeneration (sect. 4). Closing Orders are issued by the district lower court or temporary closing orders may be issued by the District Forestry Boards (sect. 5). These Boards are also in charge of rehabilitation of the forest. Section 6 provides for closing agreements with landowners and regeneration plans. Felling shall be done in accordance with these plans and agreements (sect. 7). Sections 8-15 provide for inspection and other enforcement measures.
