In 1997, the WOLF Forest Protection Movement Group began an action to save the fir-beech forest in the Čergov Mountains in eastern Slovakia. The forest, covering an area of ​​21.24 ha, is currently the property of the WOLF Forest Protection Movement. In 2004, the entire forest was declared a private nature reserve of Vlčia with the highest - 5th level of protection. To save the forest by purchasing it from the original owner, we received 1,822 contributions from contributors from 19 countries around the world. We thank everyone very much. The plots that belong to Vlča are registered on the title deed number 510, cadastral territory of Olejníky, Sabinov district.

The collection continues with the aim of purchasing as many hectares of forest around Vlčia as possible.

The Vlčia private nature reserve covers an area of ​​21.24 ha and is located in the Prešov region in the Čergov Mountains, in the cadastre of the village of Olejníkov in the source area of ​​the Ľutinka River. Originally, the forest belonged to a private owner, from whom WOLF purchased the forest. The amount needed to purchase the forest - 3.2 million crowns - was raised through the Buy Your Own Tree collection among citizens from 19 countries around the world.
