Regional contribution
At the beginning of 2022, we applied for a financial contribution for the purpose of modernizing the office equipment of a professional forester. To our delight, in the fall of 2022, we were informed that we were successful applicants for a regional grant provided by the Ministry of Informatization and Regional Development of the Slovak Republic. We utilized the provided funds in accordance with the project activities to acquire advanced software for managing forestry records, along with a tablet, a field vehicle, an external GNSS antenna for precise location measurement in forest stands, and an electronic averaging device. This equipment will significantly reduce our administrative burden and enable us to work more efficiently in the field. Additionally, we are now able to provide services related to the preparation of project documentation and studies concerning various forestry and environmental projects.
