Forestry relations in Banovina – an important segment of forester’s development in the Military Border (1787-1871)

Summary/Abstract: Between 1787 and 1871 Banovina included around 120000 acres of forests, which was about 34% of all the land in this part of the Military Border. Thorough exploitation of these wide woods started after the so called Forest regulation was brought in 1787. Henceforth, the regulations limited borderers’ privileges to exploit and use these forests. Though the aforementioned regulation was well prescribed, aiming to record size and quality of the forests, and to educate borderers regarding the exploitation, the results were not satisfying. This could surprise specially since all the borderers were severely punished in case of disobedience of the regulation. The reasons of this failure were hidden within the administrative inefficiency regarding the conducting of the regulation, since the authorities often let tradesmen to uneconomically exploit forests. Therefore, during the first half of the nineteenth century this regulation was enhanced with additional orders until 1860, when the region of Military Border accepted Austrian forest law from 1852.
