In addition to the historical context and natural conditions, forestry management at the School Forest Enterprise Masarykův les Křtiny (ŠLP Křtiny) is significantly influenced by the mission and status of the owner of the forest, i.e. Mendel University in Brno (MENDELU) – a public university.

The forests of UFE Křtiny are legally classified as special purpose forests for teaching and research. In practice, this means the implementation of model forest management in accordance with the latest research findings, but economically viable. We aim to be a multifunctional forest estate not only for students but also for the general public. The UFE must be economically self-sufficient, which it achieves primarily through the sale of timber.
