Preparation of the plan is always preceded by very precise inventory of stocks and  assessment of the forest condition. The foresters specify such forest characteristics as: structure, formation, age, species composition, forest condition, soil and site conditions, etc.. In actions planned to be realised, the aims of forest management and functions the forests  perform in arranged forest district, are  taken into account.

Contemporary plans of management within forest areas are prepared with the usage of the newest remarkable feats of technology. The most basic and crucial work equipment here is the Forest Digital Mapping (LMN), being a part of  Geographic Information System (GIS). The map, in graphical way, processes and presents data collected during field works. For many years in the process of forest management, there have been applied better and better methods of aerial and satellite photo usage, which supplement the results of field works.

The Forest  Arrangement Plan should contain among others:

-       description of forests and lands destined to be forested,       

-       forest management analysis in the previous period of time,

-       nature preservation program,

-       defining the tasks connected with logging the wood, forestation  and renewal, nursery and forest protection, hunting and creating the forest infrastructure (buildings, roads). 

The  Forest   Arrangement  Plan is basic  and the most important  document created for each forest district. The forest management is to ensure the forest sustainability, deliver material goods and the ones of social usefulness. Forest management includes such fields as: forestry, nature preservation, geodesy and computer science.
