Each class has remuneratin limits depending by the kind f study.

3 Types f Prjects 1. FOREST MANAGEMENT REPORTS 2. STRUCTURAL DESIGNS (frest rads, pipes, small bridges etc.) 3. FIRE MANAGEMENT PLANS 4. FOREST MAPS 5. ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS 6. GREENING WORKS 7. ECOTOURISM REPORTS 8. REFORESTATION PLANS 9. MOUNTAIN WATER MANAGEMENT 10. LAND RECLAMATION and ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION REPORTS

4 Types f Prjects FOREST MANAGEMENT REPORTS Natinal Law bliges, that all frests shuld be managed accrding t apprved Frest Management Reprts which are: valid fr a perid f 10 years submitted fr apprval t the Lcal Frest Office cmpliant with Standards fr Frest Management Reprts. Lgging table has validity perid f 1year Frester calculates estimates: current status f the frest vlume f bimass in frm f standing trees vlume f wd that can be lgged risks that threat the frest and ways t mitigate them

5 Types f Prjects STRUCTURAL DESIGNS Rad cnstructin reprt Defining the curse f the new rad and the vlume f sil t be extracted r backfilled Rad imprvement reprt designing the imprvement f the rad s gemetrical characteristics drain designs Water pipes reprt small bridges designs small dams designs

6 Types f Prjects FIRE MANAGEMENT PLANS Vegetatin management 1. planning f lgging befre summer 2. Creating firewalls by remving vegetatin in the shape f lanes perpenticular t the cnturs 3. Creating firewalls by refresting with fire resistant species Rads imprvement - cnstructin rads are essential in rder t efficiently fight fires and are needed t be in the best situatin during summer Water dams, tanks pints f water cncentratin in a frest, are f great imprtance and a frester is in place t pint ut the existing nes and evaluate the needs and prpse new Fire fighting plan an actin plan in the case f fire

7 Types f Prjects FOREST MAPS Greece hasn t cmpleted it s Natinal Cadastre It has a cmmitment t its brrwers t cmplete the rest 50% by year 2020 Frest Maps as part f Natinal Cadastre are nt cmplete as well Fresters are the nly certified scientists t delimit frests using remte sensing n aerial phts The past years many fresters were emplyed in such tasks

8 Types f Prjects ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS Envirnmental Impact reprts fr any actin that interferes with the natural envirnment, law abides an assessment f its impact t the envirnment fllwing certain Standards depending n the vlume f the actin. Such actins are Rads Wind turbines Slar Panel Parks etc Envirnmental strategic planning fresters in sense f envirnmentalists are in place t efficiently evaluate current situatin f the natural envirnment and plan certain activities in line with any law restrictins. (zning f prtected areas defining allwable actins)

9 Types f Prjects GREENING WORKS Landscape design Designing uter spaces bth urban / rural Selecting suitable type f vegetatin and recreatinal cnstructins (funtains, kisks etc) designing f parks, squares, gardens Rad greening wrks greening the slpes f rads fllwing current Standards assessment f the mst suitable species t be used in terms f grwth, needs in watering, etc

10 Types f Prjects ECOTOURISM REPORTS Reprts that pint ut certain areas f high aesthetic and prpse actins that will imprve and demnstrate them, such as: recreatinal facilities (kisks, funtains etc) muntain trails btanical garden hrseback riding camping cycling climping trecking and mre

11 Types f Prjects REFORESTATION PLANS Refrestatin is bliged by Greek law, fr areas whse frest was destryed. Thus, the Frester cnducts a refrestatin plan with specific details n the: specificatins f the species used plantatin distance between the trees watering schedule mnitring and evaluating prcess

12 Types f Prjects MOUNTAIN WATER MANAGEMENT Water is ne f the mst precius natural resurce in rder nt t lse water t the sea we use scientific methds t cncentrate it at desired areas t use it fr watering during dry seasns Fresters cnduct reprts that: estimate the amunt f water mving at certain water catchment areas direct water at desired areas cntrl speed f the mving water bth verticaly and hrizntaly

13 Types f Prjects LAND RECLAMATION Land Reclamatin and Eclgical Restratin reprts After mass excavatins f minerals a mine is bliged by law t be restred eclgically. Fresters are in place t cnduct reprts defining: Land use planning Species t be used watering and maintenance schedule time schedule f expected grwth and results The same reprts are cnducted fr any area that it s natural envirnment is heavily disturbed
