- first of all, properties from the Agricultural Property Resources of the Treasury (KOWR);
- subsequently properties on the board of State Forests;
- subsequently the property of local government units. First of all, the possible of these properties is based on the construction of retention sites;
- yet private properties that can be acquired. (in justified cases, with the consent of the owner without expropriation procedures).
As the Ministry emphasises, the possible acquisition of land from private owners will be carried out on a voluntary basis of sales and price negotiations, utilizing an independently developed estimation operation. To date, most of the plots acquired have come from the resources of the State Forests and the National Centre for Agricultural Support (KOWR), so far there have been individual cases of property acquisition by private individuals – always under contract and common consent.
