The area of forestry, with respect to grant policy, is included in the EU programme period of 2007–2013 under two grant programmes. Subvention to forestry can be gained from Rural Development Programme and the Operational Programme Environment. The most important tool is Rural Development Programme, which involves eight grants focused on forestry development and improvement of forest conditions. The Operational Programme Environment includes two grants supporting forestry, nature and countryside protection. Ten forestry support measures, in which the interim evaluation for the period of 2007–2010, evaluation of efficiency and comparison of approved grants according to the types of forest owners are carried out, are identified within these programmes. Starting point of the article was analysis of documents considering particular indicators and aims of individual grants in the area of forestry during the programme period of 2007–2013. The results of the interim evaluation are compared to the results in the official mid-term evaluation documents held by the Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of the Environment in the Czech Republic.
