Properly conducted forest management is one of the essential conditions for the forests protection. The state of the natural element in Poland is affected, in various scale, by a number of factors, including those causing the formation of unfavorable changes in the forests condition. In this study, we would like to focus on a group of anthropogenic factors, whose negative impact, in our opinion, can be limited by the well−managed green public procurement policy. The aim of this study is to show the legal possibilities offered by the new EC directives on public procurement in relation to the protection of legal good which are forests, in order to stimulate the national legislator to proper implementation of these provisions into national legal order. Contents provided in this study are based on analysis of the provisions of normative acts and views expressed in the science of law on the ground of considered issues. At the same time, the analysis conducted in such a way allowed us to obtain the following results and conclusions. First of all, the environment protection, including forests, is becoming an increasingly important part of any modern economic policy of the state. Emphasizing the achievement of environment protection aims, including forests, through public procurement, requires the activity of the state, in particular the activation of particular groups of public entities. Only a coherent and integrated policy for public procurement in the state, can give the desired results. From our point of view, the President of the Public Procurement Office has a crucial role in the creation of public procurement environmental policy. At the same time, with the existence of legislation enabling the use of public procurement to protect the environment, including forests, the entities granting public procurement often do not benefit from these opportunities. In our opinion, there is some kind of mental barrier of people responsible for public procurement procedures that focus on the current cost of purchase, not interested in further operating costs and any maintenance and repair. It is therefore advisable to add more attention and care in the preparation of specification of terms of procurement, in order to take into account possible criteria relating not only to the current cost of purchasing, but also including subsequent operating costs. To this the new legislation contained in Directive 2014/24 EC and Directive 2014/25 EC should significantly contribute.
