As forest and wildlife managers, our most basic goal is to preserve and maintain natural assets in the long term. The assets that we take care of in the surrounding area include geological formations, special growing areas and plant communities, as well as ecologically significant habitats that support many protected plant and animal species. From these the marsh angelica (Angelica palustris) stands out, which can be found in the Napkori-pasture (HUHN20042), which is nature conservation area of special importance.
The marsh or wetland angelica (Angelica palustris) is a endangered plant species found only in the Nyírség region of Hungary. Approximately 21 populations have survived to the present day. The population size and status of these populations are variable. The marsh angelica is a strictly protected species, with its habitats mostly being protected or planned for protection as natural areas, primarily marshes. The species is also endangered on a European scale, making the preservation of Hungarian populations a fundamental goal for nature conservation in Hungary.

This work is closely related to environmental education, which is a priority in our programs designed for primary school groups.
The life of the forest spans generations, and thus, foresters working with the forest think in terms of decades and centuries. The effects of forestry interventions in the forest (planting, nurturing, harvesting) often take many years to become evident. The goal of forest management is to build on natural processes, promoting sustainable practices that help maintain species diversity while providing job opportunities and livelihoods for those working within it.
