The Presentation Service shows the limits of the forest areas of origin of the tree species which are subject to the Forestry Propagation Goods Act (FoVG). The areas were established on the basis of the Ordinance on areas of origin for forest reproductive material (Forest Propagating Material Ordinance, FoVHgV of 7 October 1994 (BGBl. I, p. 3578), as amended by the Ordinance of 15.1.2003 (BGBl. I, p. 238)).
However, only the limits of the basic ecological units for the delimitation of forest areas referred to in Annex 1 to the aforementioned Regulation are legally binding for the allocation of forest areas (see also “Basic ecological units for the delimitation of forest areas of origin”).
