M. Vukelić: LAUDONOV GAJ Potočić , Z. 1990: Laudonov gaj Šum. list 1990 (195-198) ***: Osnova gospodarenja šumama za g.j. "Laudonov gaj" (1998-2007. g.) SUMMARY: The beautiful country of Croatia contains few regions that can boast of more natural wealth than Lika. This karst region under the Gospić Forest Administration is home to the most beautiful mountains in Croatia: Velebit, Mala Kapela and Lička Plješivica, with as many as 27protected natural sites in different categories. One of the protected natural sites is the forest area of "Laudonov Gaj", compartment 16a, which has a characteristic of a special reserve of forest vegetation with an area of 33.23 ha. This is a stand - culture of pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) in the Krbavsko Polje valley, established by General Laudon in 1746. This is one of the oldest living monuments to the forestry of Lika and Croatia planted on quick sands of the Krbavsko Polje valley, the Bunić Captaincy, the T´ Lika Regiment from Gospić in the Karlovac Generalate. At that time quick sand, called "Flugsand" -flying sand by Austrian foresters, was a source of a number of problems in the economy of the area. The Karlovac Generalate with the foresters of the 1st Lika Regiment made plans and formed techniques of afforesting quick sand areas. Captain Laudon was the executor. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the historical facts related to the forestry in Lika, which was, like the whole of Croatia, under the Austrian mili tary rule. The history of forestry in Lika is linked to the Austrian military forestry, because forests were managed under their administration. They were the first to establish forest cultures and the first to take stock and map the forests in 1745 and 1746, etc. Along with Franzoni in the Karlovac Generalate, other well-known Austrian foresters was General Jasyk in the P´ Lika Regiment, who established the Jasikovac cultures of pedunculate oak in Gospić in 1743, Major Pirker from the 2"J Otocal Regiment, who carried out the first inventory in 1746, and others. After Major Laudon left the Bunić Captaincy in 1756, the Bunić Captaincy was joined to the 2´"´ Otočac Regiment with the headquarters in Otočac. The local people named the culture of pedunculate oak "Laudonov Gaj" as a token of gratitude to Laudon for his good deeds in the Krbava area.
