Wälder als wichtige natürliche Ressource

Ungenutzte Holzressourcen erschliessen

01.2014

Ungenutzte Holzressourcen nachhaltig erschließen

Specific situation

• Strong position of forest administration, and long tradition of forest owner
  organisations.
• Both provide complementary support to private owners.
• Experience in participative local forest management and regional forest cluster
  initiatives, forest function planning by the forest administration in Bavaria.

Main challenges

• Fragmented forest plots of less than 2 ha
• Low response of small owners
• Increasing number of ‘urban’ owners
• Need for climate change adaptation
