Abstract: As the reform of collective forest tenure has achieved periodical success, forest tenure became a key word in constituting forest ecological civilization. It is selfevident that forest tenure as the right of private property would encourage the social resources to engage into silviculture and forestry development. However, the complete privatization of forest resources would cause the ignorance of its social values such as the resort of recreation and quarry of basic energy for life maintenance. Therefore, it is necessary to restrain the exclusivity of forest tenure in order to protect the reasonable interests of other forest users. The right of entrance into forest (the right to linger in forest) legislated in oversea statutes might provide the strong reference values to the scarce legislative practices and theoretical researches of this field in China.
