Information for municipalities with forest
As the person responsible for a municipality that owns forests, you certainly already have a large number of media on the subject of forests at hand, but you may still find some aspects here that might interest you.
This link takes you directly to the Forest Owner Info Tools on the Wood From Here website. Here you will find extensive information. The link opens in a separate window so that you can easily find your way back to holz-kommun.
