Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article was to analyze how the forest order was implemented in 1781 in the wooded areas of southeastern Transylvania, which aspects of the Forest Act were taken into account, and what were the limits of its implementation. In some districts, it was not necessary to introduce the clearcutting system, since there was enough forested land. Most of the problems concerned the prohibition of cattle in the forests, followed by the employment of forest rangers and cattle herders. The implementation highlighted the importance of oak trees. The Austro–Turkish war of 1788 prevented the full implementation of the forestry plans.
