Abstract

Currently in Russia there is a need to create a strategic forest planning system : to meet the requirements of the Federal Law № 172-FZ "On the strategic planning in the Russian Federation", to ensure the achievement of specific objectives stated by the Russian government in the "Principles of State Policy in the field of , protection and reproduction of forests in the Russian Federation till 2030 ", based on the new forest law, which takes into account the advanced domestic and foreign experience of legal and normative support of forest relations. According to the authors, the main task of strategic forest planning at the federal level should be the establishment of sectoral and regional priorities. In addition, the distribution of forest resources on the territory of the country requires, along with an assessment of sectoral priorities, justification of the conditions for the effective allocation of industries to economic regions and subjects of the Russian Federation. At the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the forest plan in the format of regional medium-term program for strategic development of the forest sector should be an effective tool that allows not only to achieve the goals and objectives of state policy in the sphere of forest use, reproduction, protection and protection, but also to positively influence the economy of the region and the country generally. It is necessary to form regional strategic planning document on a block (modular) basis in the same way as all plans for social and economic development of the industry at the federal and regional levels are formed. Each activity in it must be targeted, resource-efficient, and also be a subject of external monitoring and control.
