For many people "forest and women" is still an unfamiliar combination - for both men and women. Waldverband Steiermark GmbH, Forestry Training Center Pichl, Hunters and the association "Forstfrauen" show with their common project "Forest in the hands of women" that forest management is not only a male dominated business.

As part of "Forest in the hands of women" forest walks for (exclusively!) Ladies throughout Styria take place every year. This year's topic is obvious:

Stabilität als Zukunftsfaktor„Climate Change, Forest Management & Wildlife“
Climate change has a significant impact on the forest as a powerful part of our landscape, changing the way forests are managed and game is hunted. The prerequisite for a climate-friendly forest is that suitable tree species can be sufficiently rejuvenated. At the same time, however, a successful hunt must also be possible under significantly changed, ie more difficult conditions.

 

During the walk through the forest, under expert guidance, interesting facts about the forest are imparted in a practical way:Auf dem Holzweg

  • What changes does climate change bring to forestry, wildlife and hunting?
  • What demands does semi-natural forest management make on forest managers and hunters, and what can forest managers do for wildlife?
  • What options are there to assess the wild influence as objectively as possible?
