Josip Kozarac

Died in 1906

Josip Kozarac was born in Vinkovci, in Slavonia, on 18 March 1858. He had difficulty finishing secondary school, then studied forestry at the Higher School of Agriculture in Vienna from 1876 to 1879, of which he was the first Croatian graduate. A forester in about ten localities of his province, he returned to Vinkovci in 1895 as an inspector. In 1886 he organised a forestry assembly in Zagreb that adopted all his management proposals, and from 1896 to 1898 he edited the country's forestry journal. His plantations, regarded as exemplary, were visited by European specialists. He died in 1906, of consumption.
