LITTLE HISTORY AND INFORMATION

The Nyírerdő Corporation is one of the largest companies in East Hungary strong in capital, which ensures jobs for almost 400 people and families. Our main activity is the traditional forest management and the trade services relate to it. We pay attention to take care of hunting traditions, which make a national name for ourself and to make our services popular and developed.

The Nyírség Forestry Corporation transformed into state-owned forestry corporation in 30 September in 1994. as an the legal successor of FEFAG Corporation, which has decided by the owner, the ÁPV. Corporation.
The head office of the company is in Nyíregyháza, in Kótaji street 29. We take care of 61.000 hectares of forest in two counties, Hajdú-Bihar and Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg, according to the provisional trustree contract, which was made with the Treasury Property Management.The treated area is more than 1.200.000 hectares in two counties, which are located scattered. The forest area which is construct from field of activity is almost the third part of the two county’s forest.
Our company carries out its trustee duties through the head office of the company and the 9 independent forest management units.

The Hajdúhadház Forestry of the Nyírerdő Corporation is characterized by the structure of the field of activity and the diversity of the site and wild life. The forestry’s 6307 hectares of district is close to 17 village border, which are located in forest regions of Nyírség, the Nagykun-Hajdúhát, and the Tisza-Bodrog-Sajó_Hernád and Maros inundation area.

The climate is uniformly dry -rainfall is under 550 mm annually- the site is very diversity due to the many kinds of soil type. There are the weakest sandy soils and the brown forest soils, the Hortobágy sodaic soils and the very good nutrient supplied flood plain soil of the Tisza’s flood area. Aside from the diversity of the site, the plant and the forest population’s diversity is very nice. Thanks to the varying site within little distance as a mosaik- get on well with each other- the sandy deserted lawn and the lily of the valley oaks, field white alkali desert and the flood area hard broadleaved groveforest.

From the point of view of management the forest which are native tree species and the domesticated tree species complete each other. The main tree species are the Robinia and the peduncular oak, but there is significant amount of poplar and other broadleaved tree species, as well as the scotch pine and the black pine.

The nursery in Hajdúhadház is the largest pine producer nursery in this region.

To satisfy the changed former’s demands we have to racionalize the seedling utilization. In the course of it we just grew black pine and scotch pine seedlings in the past but nowadays we produce Robinia and pedunculate oak. Beside the traditional forest plant rearing we grow christmas trees, deciduous and evergreen shrubs and trees, as well as great open-rooted seedlings and container truck trees and saplings.

The nursery satisfies its own needs, as well as the other forestries’ needs and the foreign companies and export partners’ needs.

16.000 m3 net volume of wood are exploited annually and the biggest part is sold in Hungary and to export, and less part of it we use in our own sawmill.

Main woodproducts:

sawlogs,
cutting (Robinia, oak, poplar),
poles (Robinia).

Our Forestry operates two factories, one in Tiszacsege and one in Hajdúhadház. In our factories we process the own and bought raw materials (cca. 3500 m3). Mainly we produce sawn vine products (vine poles, vine stakes).

We have also edged and unedged sawn timbers, various sawn mining products, parquet fries, poplar pallet elements and Robinia poles too. Our Forestry has got a determining buyer position in this region. Beside primary forest products we want to strength our market position with commerce of wood simply marked and reproductive materials.

The forests, managed by the Forestry, take place around and in the surroundings of three towns, so those who live there can spend their spare time in variable environment.
In the Hajdúhadház Park forest is the so called Sillye memorial place that traces back to the history of late-XVII.-century Hajdúhadház. It was erected in honour of Sillye Mátyás, who belonged to the ancient section of the last police superintendent and died here.

The sepulchre is reachable on the red tourist path that lasts from Bocskaikert to Téglás railway station, which is a beloved excursion place.
Next to the car resting place, English Garden Inn, near to the main road No. 4, there are tourist paths, clearings for picnic, and open air barbecue place in the English Garden.
The surroundings of hunting lodges are convenient for youth and child groups.

NATURE PROTECTION

The forestry’s nature reserves are the Ohat forest, the Margita forest, the English garden and the Hajdúböszörmény lily of the valley oaks. The Hortobágy National Park controlls these areas’ forest management activity.

HUNTING

The NYÍREDŐ Corporation practices game management in north-eastern Hungary, on 29.000 hectares. In the trading hunting area a significant quantity exists of almost all useful huntable species. The estimated game population at the Lónya, Gúth, Ömböly and Haláp fields:

fallow buck (1280 pieces),
roe deer (1300 pieces),
wild boar (800 pieces).

As well as in great amount can be found:

brown hare,

As a result of professional game management, protection of genetic values and constant care evolved a world known game population. The annual shoot of animals in the NYÍRERDŐ Inc territories:

More and more foreign and Hungarian hunters visit the area rich in game since these trophies are rightly tempting. The area is often called as the Mecca of Nimrods. The Committee of Trophy Judges has awarded the excellent red deer and roe deer trophies of Lónya with many gold, silver and bronze medals. For the conscious and high-class forest and game management, as well as for the conservation and environment protection the hunting area in Nyíradoyn-Gúthpuszta of NYÍREDŐ Zrt. is awarded with Elmond Blanc prize by the International Hunting and Committee, the C.

The NYÍRERDŐ’s forestries have three high standard hunting lodges satisfying for all needs. The ones in Lónya and Gúth are easy to approach, and excellent hunting hunting guides are at the guests’ disposal everywhere. Truly Hungarian hospitability guarantees an unforgettable experience.

In the spare time besides hunting, the visitors can see the scenery rich in natural values, visit folklore and architectural memorials representing artistic values. The hunting lodges are suitable for family vacations and business meetings as well.
