The State Forest Service (SFS) has prepared CD with the information of the beginning of 2005.

There are two options in using the CD:
- to have an overview of the data, use any of the Internet browsers (for example, MS Internet Explorer);
- to analyze the data, use MS Excel.

On inserting the CD-ROM, the internet browser is activated automatically. In case of a failure the browser may be activated manually by CD:\index.html.

- The menu "About CD" explains the use of the CD.
- The menu "Form Description" gives the denomination of each form, including a short description of the form.

A compilation of all forms about the country is available in the English and the Russian languages in one file where each MS Excel sheet responds to the particular form.

This is for the fifth time that SFS has prepared the statistical information in a CD form. References and suggestions on how to improve the data presentation would be highly appreciated. Address your references to: vmd@vmd.gov.lv

SFS hopes this information will be useful to get an understanding of the situation with forest resources in Latvia.

With thanks for your interest,

Sincerely yours,
State Forest Service of Latvia
