An investigation into a joint treatment of the key aspects of forest resource prevention and sustainability, and the use of timber in the building industry sector of Polish economy has been overviewed. The paper constitutes therefore an attempt to position where Poland is and what is happening in forest resource management and timber industry development in the country, and whether the Polish economy would fit to the picture drawn for the Central and Eastern Europe by the natural environment global conservation strategy program. A number of different forest management and timber use related problems have been addressed which would help to direct the decision making process in order to avoid misconceptions and apprehensions in the utilization of forest resources in Poland.
