In the EU forests are highly regarded, respected and protected.

Almost 47  percent of  Austria's surface is covered by forests. Forest ecosystems in Austria and worldwide have important  business and social tasks.

• Sustainable production of raw materials

In order to secure  the various functions of the forest, we need qualified professionals to sustain the comprehensive management of nature.
