In 1807, Galychian foresters appealed to the Government with a request to open a secondary forestry educational establishment.

Reorganization of educational establishments took place after the defeat of the Western-Ukrainian People Republic in Polish domination times.

Higher Forestry School was joined with the Agrarian Academy and Agrarian-Forestry Faculty of Lviv Polytechnic University was established.

On 17 June 1993, the Forestry Institute was successfully accredited; it received a state license for educational activity at the fourth educational-qualifying level.
