"Systematic close-to-nature management: We promote native species, protect watercourses, and preserve deadwood as a habitat."
Location & Landscape
The Bogovic Forest is located in Koprivnica-Križevci County in the Croatian interior at an elevation of 150 to 190 meters. The moderately undulating terrain is structured by small streams and is subject to a continental climate with warm summers.
- Soil: Predominantly Pseudogley – a moist, waterlogged soil of site class II.
- History: Originally barley-beech forest as well as black alder-ash swamp forest in depressions.
- Vegetation: Sessile oak-hornbeam forest and montane beech forest with a diverse shrub layer.
Sustainable Strategy & Inventory
The stand (Comp. 11c & 11e) comprises sessile oak, hornbeam, and beech forest, supplemented by noble hardwoods such as wild cherry, sycamore maple, and linden. Our strategy focuses on strict nature conservation: Deadwood remains in the forest, heavy machinery is prohibited on wet soils, and riparian zones enjoy a protective buffer of at least five meters. We use exclusively certified planting material of native species, remove invasive woody plants, and protect habitat trees to ensure natural regeneration.
Permanent Satellite Monitoring
In cooperation with Remote Sensing Solutions GmbH (RSS), we monitor all our forests permanently. If a forest fire or deforestation is detected, tokens are immediately locked.
