<strong>for</strong>est area, contributing to the modification <strong>of</strong> the<br />

climate, refreshing the air and ensuring normal air<br />

composition, reducing temperature extremes,<br />

increasing humidity, slowing wind speed, favouring<br />

snow settlement and reducing evaporation. The <strong>for</strong>est<br />

has a surface <strong>of</strong> 3,112 ha situated around Bistrita<br />

municipality and its <strong>local</strong>ities, as follows:<br />

Bistrita – 1,132 ha<br />
