Significance of forests
Forests are an integral part of our culture and identity. They have always been a source of life, health and beauty, as well as inspiration and creativity. One-third of Lithuania is covered with forests – perhaps this is the reason why the forest is so distinctive and occupies such an important place in our folklore, history and art.
About lithuanian forests
Forests in Lithuania cover more than one-third of the country and probably no less a part of the Lithuanian heart. The forest is so important in our country’s folklore that we are one of the few countries in the world where children are given the names of trees: Eglė (Norwegian spruce), Ąžuolas (oak), Liepa (linden)…
While managing forests we understand and take into account all social, economic and ecological factors. We respect the forest, its history and the benefits it gives to people and the entire country.
