Fines for Firewood: How to Legally Stock Up for the Heating Season.


Many citizens of Ukraine are concerned about the availability of firewood for heating. Forestry experts emphasize the importance of proper management of forest resources.
Imagine that it is simply impossible to go to the forest and collect or cut down trees. To obtain timber, one must have a logging ticket, which is available through forestry enterprises.
Experts explain that these restrictions have their reasons. Firstly, logging is a dangerous job that requires special skills and adherence to safety rules. Secondly, without oversight, there is a risk of illegal export of freshly cut trees under the guise of collecting deadwood.
“Logging is a dangerous job that requires special skills and adherence to safety rules. Without proper oversight, there is a risk of illegal export of freshly cut trees under the guise of collecting deadwood,” said forestry experts.
However, citizens can collect some forest materials without special permits, such as needles, leaves, twigs, and bark.
Unauthorized tree cutting entails administrative liability in the form of fines according to the Code of Administrative Offenses.
Let us remind you that an official Christmas tree market is planned to be launched in Kyiv, the addresses of which can be found on the official website.
