The French Government and institutions are concerned with the situation of their Small Forest Holdings and several key documents of the last five years prove this interest.
In March 2024, the Government publish the report “Mise en gestion durable de la forêt française privée” or “How to achieve the sustainable management of private French forests”
While in November 2023, “Mobiliser les propriétaires forestiers: Propositions d’actions pour accélérer le renouvellement des forêts et en faire un atout dans la lutte contre le changement climatique” or “Mobilizing French Forest Owners”
In January 2020, CNPF and FRANSYLVA published the results of the last national Survey on French Private Forest Owners, within the Observatory of French Private Forests, called “Réseau d’Observation de la Forêt Privée” (RESOFOP). Read more here.
Finally in October 2019, the Ministry of Agriculture published “Regroupement de gestion des petites forêts: Comment dynamiser la gestion des petites forêts privées” or: Small Forest Holdings Management Grouping: How to Boost the Management of Small Private Forests.
