This summer a LAD round opens in which the state covers 60–100% of the cost of young-stand thinning, afforestation and restoration. The application window is open from 15 July to 4 September. We look at the per-hectare rates, the main conditions, and how this co-financing changes the tending bill for buyers and owners.
If a stand falls inside a specially protected area, Natura 2000 or a microreserve and logging there is restricted, the owner is entitled to an annual compensation — between €52 and €196 per hectare depending on how strict the ban is. Here are the current rates, the two application routes, the deadlines, and how to check your own property.
The familiar narrative of a roughly even state-versus-private split does not match the VMD data. Measured by forest compartments, private ownership outweighs the state by a factor of 2.17. Within the private sector, concentration is extreme: the top 1% of owners hold 44% of the area. We break down ownership across 276,011 cadastres.
Without a valid forest inventory you cannot fell, cannot apply for support, and cannot reliably value the forest. It lasts 20 years, but in practice the data ages faster. Here is when an inventory must be renewed, what it costs, and why its year is the first thing to check before a deal.
Textbooks say plant pine. Real VMD data on 117,000 mature private stands tells a different story: on discounted value pine comes last and birch comes first — especially with a high veneer share. A species-by-species breakdown of return per hectare, using the felling ages set by the Forest Law.
A VMD record for a single compartment carries more than 25 cryptic short-coded fields. Without a key, the document is unreadable. This guide walks through a real example — cadastre 62720050379 in Padures parish — and shows how those codes turn into a euro figure.
Selling cirsma is not a capital gain — it is income from the use of property, taxed at 10 %. Cirsma and harvested roundwood are two different transactions with 25 % and 50 % expense allowances, so the effective burden is 7.5 % and 5 %. Five scenarios with numbers and links to the tax authority's own guidance.
