Abstract
Apart from being a biological fact, the forest is also socially and culturally constructed, part
of cultural practices, entangled in processes of production, a space of conflict, it is mapped,
delimited, classified, legislated and regulated. Personal experience in the form of memories of
past events is inscribed in it, as well as the everyday experience of forest as a place of work. This
paper operationalizes the concept of the political forest based on ethnographic material, on the
example of the village of Drežnica near Ogulin.
