Goals / Remit
Based on a broad approach to sustainability, Pro Silva presents in the Pro Silva Principle pages policy statements on issues of major importance to present-day forest management. The full Pro Silva Europe Policy document, in several languages, and the Constitution can be downloaded http://www.prosilva.org/
These issues concern:
the basic principles of responsible forest management and forest utilisation
the maintenance of biodiversity
the use of exotic species
the ecological role of forests in the landscape
Together with this emphasis on sustainability, Pro Silva promotes forest use which follows natural processes. By these means, ecological and economic risks are reduced. Pro Silva is convinced that it is possible to commence the change from a regimented type of forest management to the type of management and silviculture advocated by Pro Silva at almost any stage of stand development. Within a range of stand types, forest protection, management and utilisation can assist in regenerating and conserving the forest.
Pro Silva supports the implementation of such management in the following ways:
Exchange of information within regional working groups;
Establishment of demonstration forests;
Meetings and excursions in demonstration forests;
Cooperation with educational and scientific institutions, and other bodies
These policy statements are the result of many discussions held among members of the Board of Pro Silva Europe. The objective of these policies is to increase the benefit derived from the forest by present and future generations. Pro Silva is a European federation of foresters who advocate forest management based on natural processes.
Continuous Cover Forestry CCF: Continuous Cover Forestry (CCF) is an alternative forest management approach where the forest canopy is maintained at one or more levels without clearfelling.
The distinctive element of CCF is the avoidance of clearfelling areas greater than 0.25 ha or more than two tree heights wide without the retention of some mature trees.
These systems are generally associated with natural regeneration but natural regeneration can be supplemented by planting if required.Main EU files targeted
All Forestry related initiatives. Special Focus on Forest Risk and Resilience, Forest-Biodiversity and the related international cooperation and exchange
