Abstract
The intent to create Forest Promotional Complex (FPC) was introducing a new quality to Polish forestry – by taking intoaccount social preference for forests, by embracing local community needs, by compromising forest production withnature protection and to introduce the rules of sustainable and balanced forest development. Main subject of this studyis a dead wood and its ecological functions in managed forests and chosen FPC reserves. The problem of ‘naturalization’or ‘ecologisation’ of forest management is discussed.
