Forest according to § 2 SächsWaldG (WFS Service)

The state capital Dresden has 961.4 hectares of municipal forest inside and outside the city area. One of the tasks of the Lower Forest Authority is the determination of the current forest area. Forest is, according to the Forest Act for the Free State of Saxony, any floor area covered with forest plants (forest trees and shrubs) which, due to its size, is suitable for a useful, protective or recreational function. Knowledge of forest distribution is important above all for the conservation of the forest, the approval of construction projects and development plans.作为州首府的德累斯顿（Dresden），其城市辖区内外的市政管辖森林总面积达961.4公顷。 萨克森自由州下级森林管理局的职责之一，即为核定当前的森林面积数据。根据《萨克森自由州森林法》，森林指所有被森林植物（乔木与灌木）覆盖的地块，且其面积需满足具备实用、防护或游憩功能的条件。掌握森林分布情况，对于森林保护、建设项目审批以及发展规划制定而言尤为关键。
