Abstract The paper presents the productive potential of the State Forests woodland over the years 1991-2005. Changes that occurred in that period were also analysed and explained. The research showed a distinct increase in forest productivity as measured by stand volume, its net increment, and its average increment. There was a favourable change in the species and age structure of timber. Wood harvesting was also on the rise. This upward tendency was possible due to an increase in timber resources in the recent years and to a forest policy seeking to prevent any decrease in the timber quality of the standing crop.
