BALTIC 21: Enhancement of Sustainable Management and Economic Development of the Small Scale Private Forest Sector in Estonia

Description: Das Projekt "BALTIC 21: Enhancement of Sustainable Management and Economic Development of the Small Scale Private Forest Sector in Estonia" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Hamburg, Arbeitsbereich für Weltforstwirtschaft und Institut für Weltforstwirtschaft des Friedrich-Löffler-Institut, Bundesforschungsinstitut für Tiergesundheit durchgeführt. Background: In the framework of the Forest Sector Programme of BALTIC 21 the Institute for World Forestry of the Federal Research Centre for Forestry and Forest Products launched a project with the Estonian Private Forest Centre (PFC) in 2002. Main goals are the strengthening of the forest associations and the enhancement of sustainable forest management in the small scale forest sector in Estonia. The project consists of extension, training and forest technical components. Although the interest of forest owners in associations is increasing, only 2 percent of all private forest owners are organized in associations. The situation is characterized by reluctance and criticism against all types of cooperatives and a low general interest of new forest owners towards their new property. With this background a concept for transferability of know-how and experiences made in Germany was elaborated between the cooperating partners. Objectives: Key issues of the cooperation were: - Strengthening the existing forest owners associations in Estonia; - Improvement of the effectiveness of the existing extension service; - Enhancement of sustainable management practice through the establishment of demonstration plots; - Initiating a dialogue between forest owners and hunters on compensation issues for game damage; Creating awareness on forest related EU regulations concerning subsidisation. Results: The means of implementation mainly comprised mutual visits and information exchange on the relevant topics. In several workshops and conferences information was disseminated among Estonian forest advisors who act as multiplier for forest owners. On the practical level various long-term demonstration sites for thinning regimes and afforestation techniques were established. Advantages and shortcomings of forest owners associations, legal aspects in hunting and EU regulations on subsidisation and the NATURA 2000 process were analyzed and evaluated by several Estonian-German tandem teams of consultants.
