The article discusses topical problems of modern forest management regarding the procedure necessary to prescribe sanitation cuttings in dark coniferous stands damaged by the Siberian silk moth. Nowadays, the inability to timely cut down the defoliated, mature and overmature commercial dark coniferous timber leads to the formation of large areas of damaged stands that will hardly ever recover. There are no subsidies stimulating forest users to cut down forests damaged by the Siberian silk moth and conduct artificial reforestation. The present study suggests steps for adjusting the current legislation in pests control measures prescription in emergencies in forest land leased.
