Forestry Management.Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) can be defined as - the stewardship and use of forests and forest lands in a way that maintains their biodiversity, productivity, regeneration capacity, vitality and potential to fulfil relevant ecological, economic, and social functions, at local, national and global levels without causing damage to other ecosystems - Ministerial conference on the Protection of European Forests, Helsinki: 1993. Forests play an often-unrecognised role in the livelihoods of people living in rural areas. They are essential to rural areas and constitute an invaluable component of integrated rural development. One of the key aims of Robinwood's component three - run by Wales - has been to find ways to improve the role of forestry in rural Europe through better forest management. Although the Robinwood regions have widely differing forests, all share the desire and will to improve their forest resource, and to use this forest resource sustainably to aid rural development.Click on the links below to see full reports on Forestry Management, Planning Principles and Forest Certification.
