The article presents some organizational principles of the Forestry Unit in the Free City of Krakow (1815–1846) as well as first years of its incorporation to Austria (1846–1853). A forestall administration list of persons was retrieved (governmental district forester, inspectors of governmental and private forests, forest guards and foresters) and principles of its funding from the budget of the Free City of Krakow (including the amount of foresters’ remunerations) were discussed in detail. Eventually, the importance of forest economy earnings to State Treasury was presented as well as a division of forests into state (treasury) and private ones. The principles of fighting incidents which posed a threat to forestall substances in the form of infringements of approved economic planning (logging) and illegal deforestation and fires were shown separately. The article is based on rich records of archives coming from the National Archives in Krakow.
