Sustainable management of forests: a European network of pilot zones for putting this into operational effect

FORSEE proposes to consolidate this process of certification by realizing a ‘life size’ test of its criteria and indicators in pilot zones of several thousands of hectares. Thanks to the results of this study,the project will make it possible to supply the participating regions with methods, tools and competences for the evaluation, oversight and promotion of the sustainable management of forests. It will thus contribute to the promotion and exchange of forestry practices which respect the environment through a network of pilot zones.
