Societatea Progresul Silvic, Bucureşti

The "Progresul Silvic" society is a non-governamental and non-political organization mainly formed by Romanian forestry engineers. The society is actively open to integrate specialists from other fields of activity, be it from the country or from abroad. The "Progresul Silvic" society continues the activities of a homonym society which was established in 1886. In 1948, the activities of the society "Progresul Silvic" were abusively prohibited and the association was dissolved. Throughout its 125 years of existence, SPS had a rich history being on turns promoted than closed down so as to be finally re-established in 1989, after The Romanian Revolution against Communism. Presently, the society operates on the bases of the Governmental Ordinance no. 26/ 2000. Any superior graduate in forestry, wood exploitation, natural, social or technical sciences which would embrace a pro-active thinking related to forestry, environment and ecological processing of natural resources can eventually become member of our association. The society's members can be active or retired persons, working in the public or private sector; they can be affiliated to political parties but they cannot exert any political activity in our society framework. Members are required an annual contribution fee.
