ProtectionThe better part of the forests in Vorarlberg are privately owned by almost 6,000 holders. The forests have a balancing effect on the climate and they regulate the water supply. Forest maintenance and use will be sponsored by the Fir Tree Country initiative. |

Hunting and ForestryThe hunting and forest industries are working closely together in order to prevent damage. An excessive number of game is the most common cause of bite and peeling damages. The main target is the conversion from a monoculture to a true to nature mixed forest with a variety of species. |
