Ukrainians were told whether there are fines for cutting down trees on their land.

Ukrainian land plots often become overgrown with self-sown plants - bushes and trees that appear due to prolonged lack of care. This can raise questions for property owners about whether they have permission to independently cut down these plants for use, for example, as firewood.

The legislation provides an answer to this question. According to the norms of the law of Ukraine 'On the Plant World', private plot owners have the right to cut down dead wood and self-sown plants on their territory without the need to obtain special permits or a logging ticket.

Moreover, Article 91 of the Land Code of Ukraine obliges owners of agricultural plots to take care of them. This means combating weeds, cutting down unwanted vegetation, and conducting agronomic measures.

Failure to take these actions may be regarded as an administrative offense, for which a fine ranging from 85 to 340 hryvnias is provided.

The law also emphasizes that private plot owners are not required to obtain permission to use plant resources for land restoration. Thus, removing self-sown plants or dead wood is the owner's right and does not require additional approvals.

We also remind you how to legally stock up for the heating season.
