Svetovalno dejavnost za zasebne lastnike gozdov v Sloveniji izvaja Zavod za gozdove Slovenije (ZGS). V obdobju med leti 2010 do 2020 je ZGS za svetovanje porabil 879.251 neto delovnih ur, od tega 79,9 % za individualno svetovanje lastnikom gozdov. V diplomski nalogi smo anketirali revirne gozdarje in vodje krajevnih enot (n = 225) ZGS v vseh območnih enotah. Med anketiranimi, ki izvajajo svetovalno dejavnost na ZGS je 88,0 % moških, v povprečju so stari 47 let in največ jih ima končano višjo strokovno izobrazbo (36,9 %). Anketiranci so izrazili, da jim je najljubše individualno svetovanje, saj je bolj učinkovito in se bolj prilagaja potrebam ter željam zasebnih lastnikov gozdov. Anketiranci najpogosteje svetujejo zasebnim lastnikom gozdov o izbiri drevja za posek, o ureditvi sečišča, o gojitvenih in varstvenih delih ter o gradnji gozdnih prometnic in varnem izvajanju sečnje. Komunikacija z zasebnimi lastniki gozdov poteka najpogosteje preko telefona oziroma se z njimi srečajo v živo (najpogosteje pri odkazilu drevja za posek). Revirni gozdarji in vodje krajevnih enot večinoma redko kontaktirajo zasebne lastnike gozdov preko družbenih omrežji, javnih medijev, e-pošte ali pošte. Zasebni lastniki gozdov jih najpogosteje kontaktirajo, ko želijo izvajati gozdnogospodarska dela v svojem gozdu (izdaja odločb) oziroma ko potrebujejo informacije o odkupovalcih lesa in o registriranih izvajalcih gozdnogospodarskih del. Izkušnje s svetovanjem dobijo revirni gozdarji in vodje krajevnih enot najpogosteje kar sami v praksi, zato so izkazali tudi potrebo po dodatnem izobraževanju za svetovalno dejavnost. Ker je področji, kjer revirni gozdarji in vodje krajevnih enot opažajo primanjkljaj znanja, kar veliko, je potrebno, da ZGS usmerja izobraževanje svojih zaposlenih na področjih, kjer jim primanjkuje znanja. Extension service for private forest owners in Slovenia is provided by the Slovenian Forest Service (SFS). In the period between 2010 and 2020, the ZGS spent 879,251 net man-hours on the extension service, of which 79.9% was spent on individual advice to forest owners. As part of the thesis, we surveyed foresters (n = 225) of the SFS in all regional units. 88.0% of respondents providing extension services in the SFS are men, their average age is 47 years, and most of them have completed higher professional education (36.9%). Respondents indicated that they prefer individualized advice because it is more effective and better responds to the needs and desires of private forest owners. Respondents most often advise private forest owners on tree selection for harvesting, clearing design, silviculture and protection work, and construction of forest roads and safe logging operations. They usually communicate with private forest owners by phone or meet with them in person, but they never contact them via social media, public media, email, or mail. They are most often contacted by private forest owners who want to conduct forest management works in their forest (issuing a decision) or need information about timber buyers and registered forest management work operators. Foresters most often gain extension experience themselves in practice, which is why they indicated a need for additional training in extension activities. Because there are many areas in which foresters identify a lack of knowledge, it is necessary for the SFS to target the training of its staff to the area in which they lack knowledge.

V raziskavi smo preučevali zadovoljstvo zasebnih lastnikov gozdov s svetovalno dejavnostjo Zavoda za gozdove Slovenije (ZGS) v revirju Rogaška Slatina. Na območju revirja Rogaška Slatina smo anketirali 50 naključno izbranih zasebnih lastnikov gozdov. Zanimalo nas je splošno zadovoljstvo zasebnih lastnikov gozdov v zvezi s svetovalno dejavnostjo ZGS (trenutno dejavnostjo in željami v prihodnosti), kje najpogosteje dobijo informacije, ki jih zasebni lastniki gozdov uporabljajo pri gospodarjenju z gozdom ter na kakšen način le-te pridobijo. Ugotovili smo, da so zasebni lastniki gozdov v splošnem zadovoljni s svetovalno dejavnostjo ZGS v revirju Rogaška Slatina, ter da na njihovo zadovoljstvo ne vpliva njihova starost, lastniško razmerje in velikost gozdne posesti. Zasebni lastniki gozdov si kljub splošnemu zadovoljstvu želijo nova področja svetovanja s strani ZGS (npr. svetovanja o najprimernejšem odkupovalcu lesa in cenah ter o zakonskem reševanju vprašanj meja v gozdu). Zasebni lastniki gozdov najpogosteje dobijo informacije povezane z gospodarjenjem z gozdom od ZGS preko revirnega gozdarja pri odkazilu lesa, sledi pridobivanje informacij preko spletne strani ZGS, elektronske pošte, družabnega omrežja ter preko delavnic in izobraževanj. ZGS bi moral bolje oglaševati dogodke, ki jih organizira, prav tako pa bi moral več delati na vključevanju zasebnih lastnikov gozdov v oblike svetovanj, ki jih ponujajo. Da bi lahko ZGS izvajal svetovanje na novih področjih bi bile potrebne spremembe v gozdarski zakonodaji. The study examined the satisfaction of private forest owners with the extension services of the Slovenia Forest Service (ZGS) in the Rogaška Slatina district, where we surveyed 50 randomly selected private forest owners. We were interested in the general satisfaction of private forest owners regarding the extension services of the Slovenia Forest Service (current activity and wishes in the future), where they most frequently get the information that private forest owners use in forest management and how they obtain it. We have found that private forest owners are generally satisfied with the extension services of the Slovenia Forest Service in the Rogaška Slatina district, and that their satisfaction is not affected by their age, ownership and the size of the forest property. Despite the general satisfaction, private forest owners want new areas of advice from the Slovenia Forest Service (e.g. advice on the most appropriate buyer of timber and prices, and on the legal resolution of border issues in the forest). Private forest owners most often obtain information related to forest management from the Slovenia Forest Service from a district forester at logging, followed by obtaining information through the Slovenia Forest Service website, e-mail, social network and through workshops and trainings. Slovenia Forest Service should better advertise the events it organizes and should also work more to involve private forest owners in the forms of counselling they offer. Changes in forestry legislation would be required in order for the Slovenia Forest Service to provide advice in new areas.
