Since the beginning of the 1990s the importance of nature protection in the forests of the canton of Argovia has increased. Since then, in collaboration with the Nature Protection Office and the Planning Department of the canton, the issue of forest nature protection has also been introduced at the levels of communal planning and implementation. On the basis of the Forest Nature Protection Inventory (WNI) the Forest Department has issued a cantonal nature protection strategy for the forest with the Forest Nature Protection Programme. The Upper Council (Grosse Rat) passed a multi-year programme in 1996 and granted the corresponding resources until 2001. The programme has since been extended to the end of 2007. Thanks to a successful collaboration between foresters and owners, 36 per cent of the long-term goals had been realised and contractually assured by the end of 2002.
