Managing forests for the future: the benefits of close-to-nature forestry

Why is close-to-nature forest management better for the climate, the economy, food systems and more?
Most forests in Europe are managed, whether for protection, recreation, or production of wood and other products.
Large-scale clear-cutting and replanting has drastic impacts on the environment, and many foresters are challenging such practices. By adopting close-to-nature management, they are using the intrinsic force of forests to manage pests, naturally regenerate trees and produce high-value wood.
Across Europe, the rising impacts of climate change and the need for resilient forests is motivating a transition to practices that work with, and not against, nature.

Excellent reportage qui arrive à exposer l'essentiel du sujet dans un format très concis. J'ai particulièrement apprécié les explications lumineuses de mon amie Suzanne Braun, que je salue !

remarkable film and excellent approach to the forestry ecossystem services

Nice film, I can support most views, the only problem is, that forests and forestry approaches in Sweden, Portugal, France or e.g. here in Germany differ a lot. One should keep that in mind.

Large-scale clear-cutting, re-planting and underplanting are some of the reasons I have always called myself a woodland manager and not a forester.
Where does coppicing in seminatural woodlands fit into your vision?
