Die Erhaltung der Waldfunktionen und die Versorgung einer Region mit der erneuerbaren Ressource Holz erfordern neue Strategien für Waldbesitzerinnen und Waldbesitzer, die sie nur in Zusammenarbeit mit verschiedenen Partnern umsetzen können. Antworten auf diese Herausforderungen sollen im Rahmen dieses Pilotprojektes, für das der politische Bezirk Graz-Umgebung für Österreich ausgewählt wurde, anhand einer nachhaltigen Holzmobilisierungskette und einer klimafitten Waldbewirtschaftung erarbeitet werden. Die Holzmobilisierung im Privatwald bedeutet, den Waldbesitzer zu mobilisieren und sie für eine klimafitte Waldbewirtschaftung zu begeistern. Durch den Eigentumsschutz besteht ausschließlich die Möglichkeiten über die Besitzer der Wälder zusätzliche Holzmobilisierung zu erreichen. Ein wesentlicher Projektschritt besteht im Aufzeigen von beispielhaften Kleinwaldbewirtschaftern, die in Form einer aktiven Familienforstwirtschaft bereits seit Generationen ihr Holznutzungspotential ausschöpfen. Unter dem Motto „Wir machen unseren Wald klimafit“ werden aktive Kleinwaldbewirtschafter als Klimafit-Botschafter in die Öffentlichkeit geholt.

Projektinhalte:

• Kontinuität in der Betreuung und Beratung von Waldbesitzern aufbauen
• Holzaufkommen aus der Projektregion steigern
• gezielte Öffentlichkeitsarbeit im städtischen Umfeld für eine positiven Bezug der Notwendigkeit der Bewirtschaftung unserer Wälder
• Aufbau einer Beratungs- und Betreuungsstruktur, die über das Projekt hinaus ohne öffentliche Finanzmittel sichergestellt werden kann
• Weiterentwicklung digitaler Angebote für Waldbesitzer 

SAT4EST to projekt B+R finansowany przez Europejską Agencję Kosmiczną (ESA), którego celem jest zaprojektowanie systemu i zbudowanie serwisu wspomagającego zarządzanie lasami niepaństwowymi, dedykowanego dla administracji lokalnej (na poziomie NUTS-4). Głównym założeniem projektu jest rozwój prostej, intuicyjnej i ekonomicznej aplikacji internetowej wspomagającej zarządzanie lasami, integrującej dane satelitarne z danymi pozyskiwanymi z innych źródeł, umożliwiającej obliczanie statystyk dla danego obszaru i generowanie prostych raportów.

System składa się z czterech komponentów:

• dane satelitarne  – szybki dostęp do dostęp do danych aktualnych i historycznych, umożliwiający porównywanie zdjęć satelitarnych z różnych okresów;
• dane uzupełniające  - dane katastralne oraz szczegółowe dane o lasach pochodzące z planów urządzenia lasu (UPUL);
• produkty przetwarzania danych satelitarnych – warstwy geometryczne będące wynikiem przetwarzania zdjęć satelitarnych obrazujące stan i kondycję roślinności i lasów;
• analizy – zestawienie produktów przetwarzania danych satelitarnych z danymi katastralnymi oraz szczegółowymi danymi o lesie, umożliwiające wychwycenie niezgodności pomiędzy stanem faktycznym a stanem zapisanym w bazach danych oraz bieżących zmian.

Całość rozwiązania opera się na intuicyjnym portalu mapowym przeznaczonym dla użytkowników,  który służy do generowanie różnego typu map, w tym map lasów i zadrzewień, zmian w lasach, map typów lasu, map kondycji lasu, map zwarcia koron, map nadziemnej biomasy leśnej oraz zasięgu zniszczenia drzewostanów wskutek huraganów, pożarów, powodzi i gradacji owadów. Użytkownicy systemu mają dostęp do aktualnych i archiwalnych obrazów satelitarnych, mogą porównywać różne rodzaje map z danymi uzupełniającymi i przesyłać własne zestawy danych. 

In 2015, eucalypt became the predominant tree species in Portugal and despite located in productive areas is often under insufficient/deficient management. The "Melhor Eucalipto" project, developed by CELPA, to promote good management practices for eucalypt stands through the organization of free roving Info Sessions to non-industrial private owners and the production of videos (~20) (www.celpa.pt/melhoreucalipto/category/videos/) and printable leaflets (~10) to be distributed or downloaded from the site (http://www.celpa.pt/melhoreucalipto/flyers/). To emphasize the impact of good management, the project comprises two side-by-side demonstration areas continuously monitored: one following the current management practiced by non-industrial forest owners and the other following the best recommend practices. The project also integrates an operational extension, the Limpa e Aduba Program (PLA), which offers landowners who apply technical support and the fertilization of their eucalyptus plantations, if they meet the eligibility criteria. In return, the owners are obliged to manage fuels and/or correct stand densities, in order to reduce the risk of fire, increase productivity and income, while promoting forest management and certification. At the end of the 3rd PLA campaign, about 3,800 owners have already benefited, corresponding to an area of 33,100 ha, mostly in smallholding plots.

The project aimed at technical and scientific knowledge transfer encouraging the management of eucalypt plantations. A freely available user-friendly platform providing site specific prescriptions concerning the best silvicultural practices that takes edaphic, climatic and topographic characteristics into account was developed. In order to benefit from technical assistance, the forest owner has to be registered in the platform (trial-version available). First, he has to add his property by drawing it directly on Google Maps or importing a shapefile/KML. The next step will consist of property/forest characterization (e.g. age and stand rotation, soil details, topography). Finally, has to specify if he wants to establish a new stand or maintain an existing one. After completed, a personalized technical prescription is immediately provided. The user can edit his list of properties or update the forests’ characteristics. When features are updated, the user can request for a revised technical prescription. A pdf file with the prescription can be downloaded or access can be directly granted to someone (e.g. forest manager). An additional feature allows users to consult possible restrictions of legal and/or environmental scope concerning forestry practices. This tool includes also an online library and other contents. By the end of 2021, the platform reached more than 43k visualizations, 10k users with 560 users registered in technical indications module; 3 patents were submitted.

The platform "Je me forme pour mes bois" was initiated by CNPF in association with Fransylva and the training program FOGEFOR. The aim is to provide online pedagogical content and a training offer (field workshops, day events, videos, etc) to the forest owners and forest teachers. The pedagogical content is divided by themes, in order to cover all the tasks that forest owners must go through: assess the forest production potential, protect it and manage it via cuttings and other forestry works, sell wood, develop new services in the forest, carry out administrative tasks. The content is also divided into three levels of difficulty, depending on the user's profile and experience with forest ("discover", "learn", and "take action"). The site also contains videos and forest owners interview videos, as well as additional resources (books, journals, etc) to go further on certain topics.

The aim of the project is to propose a simple tool, free to use, with adapted services for the novice forest owners and allow the mobilization of wood from small private forests. Professionals in the forest and wood sector will also be able to access this tool in order to find information on the legislation and manage forest worksites by completing online procedures. The tool is used to facilitate forest management between forest owners and enterprises. Owners can locate their forest plots on an online map with a cadastre and then describe their stand using a question and answer system. They can also contact neighbouring owners using a form. An owner can request a quote online for forestry work from information on their stands. Professionals have the possibility to carry out their administrative procedures online. The owner follows the progress of his forest worksite on the platform. The module for estimating wood prices has an educational purpose in order to explain price formation. Finally it is possible to access a directory of professionals and publish an ad to sell or buy plots. All these services are on a national scale, but specific and regional information is provided to the forest owner. At the end of 2020, more than 3300 accounts had been created.

The preservation of forest functions and the supply of a region with the renewable resource wood require new strategies for forest owners, which they can only implement in cooperation with various partners. Answers to these challenges are to be developed within the framework of this pilot project, for which the political district of "Graz-Umgebung" was selected for Austria, on the basis of a sustainable wood mobilisation chain and climate-fit forest management. Timber mobilisation in private forests means mobilising forest owners and getting them interested in climate-friendly forest management. Because of property protection, additional wood mobilisation can only be achieved in cooperation with the forest owners. An essential step in the project is to point out exemplary small-scale forest managers who have been exploiting their wood utilisation potential for generations in the form of active family forestry. Under the motto "We make our forest climate-fit", active small-scale forest managers are brought into the public eye as climate-fit ambassadors.

The main objectives are:

• Establish continuity in the support and advice of forest owners
• Increase wood volumes from the project region
• Targeted public relations measures in the urban environment to generate a positive perception about the need to manage our forests
• Establish an advisory and support structure that can be ensured without public funding beyond the project
• Further development of digital offers for forest owners
