Advice and services for forest owners

Digital solution

The eGOZD project offers a web-based solution for developing forest management plans by integrating data on forest tenure, infrastructure, and public platforms. This tool aids private forest owners in planning sustainable, multifunctional management aligned with conservation guidelines. By visualizing and economically evaluating production processes, it helps owners optimize timber potential, modernize rural areas, and manage costs effectively. The plan also links to current timber prices, allowing owners to monitor forest performance and make informed decisions, including whether to manage tasks themselves or hire contractors for cost efficiency.

A system for Quality assessment of Forestry Contractors (eGozd)

Slovenia

Forest management, ecosystem, resilience

Advice and services for forest owners

Digital solution

The forestry services market is dynamic, requiring skilled contractors to meet demand and maintain competitiveness. However, knowledge of their efficiency, social responsibility, and environmental impact is often limited. This is especially problematic during large-scale disturbances when forest owners lack information on service providers' quality and reliability. To address this, the “MojGozdar” system was developed in Slovenia. It assesses forestry contractors on three levels: formal suitability, expert evaluation, and customer ratings. The system emphasizes sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and environmental responsibility, helping forest owners connect with reliable contractors and improving service quality through user feedback.

Assessment of Costs in Harvesting Systems using an Web-based Tool (WoodChainManager)

Harvesting, infrastructure, logistics

Financing, funding schemes

Advice and services for forest owners

Digital solution

WoodChainManager, developed by the Slovenian Forestry Institute, is a web-based tool for estimating wood supply chain costs. It offers three user modules for assessing material costs of individual machines and total costs. This tool helps optimize harvesting systems by allowing users to test the impact of different technologies on total material costs. The simple matrix-based method visualizes the entire harvesting process, providing accurate cost calculations. WoodChainManager aims to increase awareness of cost management and enable direct comparison of various harvesting systems.

Retort for the production of barbecue charcoal and biochar from local waste wood

Switzerland

Bern

Products, markets, trade

Forest-based bio/circular economy

Barbecue charcoal often reaches consumers via long transportation routes and from dubious sources. Locally produced charcoal from scrap sawmill or landscape wood would be much more ecological. A small retort with a capacity of 1m3 of wood and complete exclusion of oxygen can be used to convert local wood into high-quality charcoal. For this purpose, wood cuttings from a local sawmill or poor quality hardwood are manually fed into the retort and converted into coal of the highest quality over 4 - 8 hours. This can generate additional income on a forestry operation or a part-time farm and also reduce the burden on the environment. The waste heat can be used via a heat exchanger to heat living space or for drying processes, e.g. in the timber industry.
