Forest Management and Policy

Conditions in the canton of Argovia for efficient forest management are relatively good. The natural conditions and the present condition of the forests allow a high degree of sustainable yield with a high proportion of valuable, goodquality wood. The character of the new Argovian Forest Law is liberal and grants a great measure of freedom to forest owners in organisational and managerial matters. The progress in rationalisation achieved by restructuration over the past ten years has been considerable, but largely cancelled out by falling wood prices. Future development will depend, not least, on the goals and values of the political authorities as the largest group of forest owners.
