Abstract

Forests have always been economically important. They provided local communities with wood, a major resource upon which crafts production was based at the time. Forest raw materials were traded internally, while forest goods played a significant role in exports to Western Europe. The economic progress and a high demand for Lithuanian forest products enabled domestic and foreign merchants to freely export goods such as wood, ash and tar from the forests surrounding the city of Kaunas.
