Felling trees. Permission to cut down trees

Today, the Government of the Russian Federation is actively fighting for the restoration of the health of citizens, as well as for the preservation of the environment. Over the past couple of years, a lot of bills have been created, which are aimed specifically at these goals. Each of us has his own house or dacha site, but does everyone know that cutting down trees is strictly forbidden? Let's discuss this bill in more detail, its goals and points.

Why do you need a log house?

Felling trees is a necessary process that is performed in the following cases:

- If they are in an emergency condition.

- If it is necessary for construction. In this case, it will be necessary to have a plan, as well as written approval from the environmental and national expertise.

- If repair works of underground communications are required, and green plantations impede this.

- If the logging of trees allows the sun to penetrate the buildings.

- If it is necessary to prepare an agricultural site for construction. In this case, the logging of trees is combined with the uprooting of the stumps. In addition, felling of trees is necessary if, for example, a certain type of plantation promotes an allergic reaction in the population of a particular building or area. In this case, the construction of certain types of trees is carried out, but only if there is a written permission of the local government for this.

The felling of trees requires official permission

To cut down a tree in your dacha or near-home area, you will need to take a permit for this process. In different settlements tree logs are executed in accordance with city laws and management regulations. In the event that you need to remove green spaces on a land plot on which construction will later take place, the government expects the greatest compensation. Logging of trees on the land for further construction is carried out only with permission from the organizations of the city government. It is issued only if the landowner drops new seedlings in the area indicated by the city government. In some cases, monetary compensation is also possible.

If the tree is in an emergency, then it will not be necessary to plant new seedlings.

List of documents to be collected

To cut the tree on the site, as we said earlier, it will be necessary to take a permit to cut down. For this you need to collect the following documents:

- a written statement indicating the reason for the logging of the tree;

- site planning;

- a description of the green plantations that are to be cut down;

- An official agreement concluded with a company that deals with cutting down green spaces.

Types of felling trees

There are four types of tree cutting. Let's take a closer look at them.

The first way is selective felling. With this method of eliminating a tree, it is partially removed. This option is most often chosen for the purpose of timber extraction, as well as to accelerate their growth.

The second option is complete felling. In this case, all trees are eliminated at a time. Complete cutting is carried out in order to clean the land from green spaces.

The third option is the gradual elimination of green spaces. It is produced in several ways and at the same time preserves the protective functions of the soil.

The last option - cutting down trees to care for the forest. With this option, the old green plantations are eliminated in order to leave only healthy trees.

At what time of the year is it best to cut down trees?

Many of us believe that the best time to cut down trees is in summer. This opinion is erroneous. It is believed that winter cutting of trees is the most optimal option. This is all for a reason, because it is in the winter period in the tree contains a minimum number of juices. Due to this, the wood does not decay for a long time.

Nevertheless, the technique, which is adapted to eliminate green plantations, is not functioning well enough in the frost, and therefore the cutting is more effective in the summer.

The amount of fines

As we said earlier, it is necessary to have permission to cut trees. Any illegal liquidation of green spaces is punishable by a fine. For deforestation of trees that are under the protection of the nature use service, a penalty is stipulated, which is about 30 thousand rubles. If you damaged the tree or tried to dig it, in accordance with the code of administrative crimes, a fine of 1500 rubles will be imposed. In the case of the use of special equipment, the fine for tree cutting will be 3,000 rubles. In order not to violate the bill, be sure to contact the city government to get permission for logging green spaces.

Some statistics

According to the statistics of environmental violations, 44% of them are illegal felling of trees. In order to compensate for the damage to nature, it will take approximately 100 years. It is for this reason that it is decided to cut trees only if there is a special permit.

How long can I use the clearing permit?

Illegal felling of trees entails not only penalties, but in some cases even a criminal case. In case the tree is to be felled, it is necessary to apply to a special company that will issue all the proper documents. In the event that the felling was not carried out through the fault of the applicant, the permit will become invalid after a couple of weeks and will have to be reissued. The collection for cutting trees is not accrued unless absolutely all documents are available.

Deforestation on New Year's Eve

It's no secret that illegal cutting of trees in the city is especially common on the eve of the New Year. Almost everyone wants to get a fragrant spruce absolutely free of charge, without thinking about the consequences. On the eve of this year, it was decided to raise the amount of fines. The head of forestry Ivan Valentenko hopes that every year the number of violators will decrease. He promises that next year will be adopted a lot of bills that will minimize the incidence of illegal logging of green spaces.

As we said earlier, on the eve of the New Year fines for deforestation have increased. For the logs of coniferous trees without the permission of foresters it is even possible to obtain a term of imprisonment. This is possible if the tree was cut down, the price of which is more than 5 thousand rubles. In other cases, the cost of a fine is about 4 thousand rubles. In addition to recovery, it will be necessary to compensate for the damage to the forestry, almost 3 thousand rubles for each tree.

It is necessary to save a check, buying a spruce on the eve of the New Year. In the case of transporting a tree to another settlement, it is necessary to have a formal contract indicating the number of plantations purchased and the date of purchase.

Harvesting of timber

Many are concerned with the question of what to do if timber is needed, and cutting down trees and shrubs is prohibited. Let's examine this issue in more detail. If the landowner needs to procure timber for his needs in building a house of up to 300 cubic meters, the purchase is made under a contract of sale. It is concluded between the owner of the land plot and the Ministry of Forestry for a period of up to one year. The average cost of a cubic meter of wood is 50 rubles. For low-income and large families, the bill provides for a 7% discount.

How to apply for timber harvesting?

The order of logging involves first of all the filing of an application. For this, the landowner must write a written statement in the local forestry department. You must have an identity document with you. An authorized person can also write a statement. If the applicant has preferred this option, then a copy of the representative's passport and his written permission for the processing of personal data are required. If the application is sent through the post office, then all documents must be notarized.

Additional documents

Depending on the purpose of logging, the following papers should be provided:

1. Document for a house or a room.

2. A document confirming ownership of a land plot, or a permit for the right to use land.

What should I indicate in my application?

Few people have encountered an application for the provision of timber. Let's discuss in more detail what exactly is required to be indicated in a written appeal to the harvesting of the tree.

In the application, the landowner must indicate his surname, first name, patronymic, data of the document that certifies the identity, address, telephone number, address of the forestry in which the purchase of wood is planned, the purpose of harvesting and the required amount of raw materials. In case the wood is needed for the construction of the house, it is also necessary to indicate the address of the land plot. If the applicant has privileges, then a copy of the relevant document must be attached.

Who can fine for violation of the bill?

A district inspector, a forest ranger and an environmental police officer can bring to account for illegal tree cutting. All those who are involved in illegal logging are being brought to justice, namely, the customer and the performer. It is for this reason that companies that assist in the removal of trees, first of all, study the city permit and the registration papers of the customer.

Interesting facts about combating illegal logging

Few people know, but on New Year's Eve 2016 a new technique was used to protect the fir, fir and cedar trees (in the article photo). The tree was treated with a special substance, which when exposed to room temperature begins to produce an unpleasant rotten odor. By the way, this solution is organic and does not harm green plantations. Also worth noting that it smells bad not only the tree itself, but everything that it touched.

Recently, also often on television and in the city, advertising is being broadcast, which calls for the refusal to purchase coniferous trees for New Year's holidays. Every year more and more families refuse from a live Christmas tree and acquire an artificial tree.

Benefits from trees

Speaking about the bill, which prohibits illegal logging, one can not help recalling the benefits that green spaces bring. Surely each of us knows that the trees give off daily millions of tons of oxygen, which is extremely necessary for breathing each person.

In contrast to conventional plantings, only evergreen conifers perform photosynthesis all year round (in the article photo). A coniferous tree possesses a high therapeutic property, its smell is especially useful for those who have respiratory system diseases.

Summing up

As we found out, trees bring invaluable benefits to our health and the environment. Ecologists from all over the world struggle daily with illegal cutting of trees to preserve nature. In the Russian Federation there is a bill that provides for penalties from violators. Already next year illegally felled tree can turn for the infringer quite serious prison term.
