The centers construction project is worth 8.65 million euros and is co-financed by the European Union from the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism, the Climate Change Fund and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food. The center is of key importance for the future of Slovenian forests and represents an important step towards ensuring better resistance of forests to climate change and increasingly frequent natural disasters. The official opening of the center will take place in March.
