Efforts to manage and restore Czech forests have focused on recovering from bark beetle devastation and improving ecosystem resilience. In the Žďár region, foresters have utilized a method of leaving dead wood to facilitate a natural transition from spruce monocultures to diverse deciduous forests, a process being studied by international experts.

To combat ongoing threats, forestry enterprises such as Lesy ČR are intensifying monitoring efforts. Authorities are combining traditional field inspections with satellite technology to identify declining tree health, particularly in response to droughts and high temperatures in the Polabí region. In Ostrava, municipal efforts include treating ash trees for dieback and removing white mistletoe to protect urban greenery.
