The Institute of Forest offers consumers technologies for plantation forest cultivation of coniferous tree species to meet the needs of enterprises in the wood processing and pulp and paper industries with target assortments of coniferous tree species under a commercial agreement with technical assistance and is looking for partners interested in improving the technology taking into account regional forest growing conditions under a technical cooperation agreement.

The technologies are designed to provide the target assortments of coniferous tree species for the needs of enterprises in the woodworking and pulp and paper industries.

The technology of plantation forest cultivation of coniferous tree species (pine and spruce) solves the problems of obtaining commercial timber with specified characteristics (large, medium, small) with minimal negative impact on the environment.

Scope - forestry, forest industry complex. The technologies are aimed at accelerated plantation forest cultivation, obtaining coniferous wood of a certain quality and preserving forests of natural origin.

Reduction of the final felling rotation in coniferous stands by 25–30 years, transportation costs for timber delivery when plantation forest stands are located near large woodworking and pulp and paper enterprises.

Implementation of technologies ensures a 1.5–2.0-fold reduction in the period of growing target assortments of pine and spruce and obtaining timber with specified characteristics by the age of 35–55 years of plantation forest crops, an increase in the yield of target timber of a certain quality per felling rotation.

Technologies contribute to the conservation of natural forests and biological diversity, do not contradict environmental requirements.

The necessary technological complexes of machines for plantation forest cultivation are available in state forestry institutions of the Ministry of Forestry.

The Institute of Forest of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus is the leading and only specialized research institution that ensures a modern scientific, technical and innovative level of development of forestry in the country.

The Institute of Forest has well-equipped material, technical and instrumental bases that ensure the implementation of research work at a modern scientific and methodological level.

The Institute carries out active scientific cooperation with research institutes and higher educational institutions of the CIS countries and far abroad.

Experimental and industrial testing of scientific and technical developments of the Institute is carried out at its three experimental forest bases: Dvinskaya, Zhornovskaya and Korenevskaya.

Areas of activity:
- study of genetic, physiological and biochemical mechanisms for the formation of forest productivity and sustainability;
- improvement of the scientific foundations of reproduction, rational use and protection of forest resources;
- development of technologies for sustainable forest management and forest use;
- development of forest reproduction technologies based on genetic selection, increasing their productivity, environmental sustainability and preserving biodiversity;
- development of methods, means and technologies for protecting forests from fires and protecting them from harmful organisms;
- development of methods and technologies for the rehabilitation of anthropogenically disturbed forest lands;
- development of methods and technologies for the protection and reproduction of non-timber forest products, the use of biotechnology for industry, agriculture, medicine and environmental protection.

The regulatory and technical framework of the republic for forestry management has been developed by the Institute or with its participation.
