Significant changes have been implemented in Ukrainian forest management with the introduction of new Sanitary Rules in Forests of Ukraine. These comprehensive regulations establish stringent guidelines for sanitary felling operations.

On November 24, the Sumy OULMG hosted an educational seminar to review the new provisions. The updated rules represent a substantial revision of previous regulations and will now serve as the primary framework governing all sanitary measures in Ukrainian forests.

The seminar featured presentations from distinguished experts including Kateryna Davydenko, director of DSPL "Kharkivlisozakhyst," who detailed the practical implications of the new rules. Participants engaged in active discussions about implementation challenges.

Deputy Head of Sumy OULMG Oleksandr Tovstukha emphasized that the revised Sanitary Rules enhance transparency in forest health measures, requiring public disclosure of all sanitary felling information on official websites.
