At present, the Forest Research at Opocno (FRSO) covers silvicultural applied research, expertises, and consultancy by needs and demands of the Ministry of Agriculture, state administration, forest owners, etc. The main part of investigation is concentrated on the research project Silviculture in ecotopes disturbed by human activities subsidised by the Ministry of Agriculture. Station research workers also participate in the other projects subsidised by the National Agency for Agricultural Research, the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic, the Ministry of Environment, etc.

Long-term operated research plots for regenerating and tending forests present the base for FRSO research activities. Those research plots have been founded in various immission and site conditions in the whole Czech Republic since fiftieths. Machines for automatic measuring and logging climatic, pedologic, and hydrologic data equip the most important research objects. The FRSO operates also a small experimental forest nursery with automatic control and registration of microclimate data and irrigation.

Consultancy and expert activities are an integral part of investigation and they are covered by demands and assignments of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic. These activities support forest owners and civil service. They also help to subsidize the maintenance of long-term research plots.

The accredited laboratory for evaluation of physiological and morphological quality of plants operates in framework of forest nursery activities.
