Forest and forest management in Canton Zurich - surprisingly varied!!
2012
Noetzli, K., Abteilung Wald des Kantons Zuerich, Zuerich (Switzerland)
The forest in Canton Zurich is surprisingly diversified. The demands made upon it are just as varied. In particular forests near towns combine the functions of protection, productivity and welfare. More than half the forest land is in private ownership. In these circumstances it is not easy to fulfil all functions of the forest, whilst ensuring its sustainable management and use. In order to do this, Canton Zurich uses two instruments: a locally based forestry service present on the terrain, and a solid forestry planning at various levels. The reinforcement and continuation of these institutions are decisive in order to maintain the forest as a habitat, an economic and a recreation area. Only a far-sighted treatment of our forests, an intensive dialogue between forest owners and those who benefit from the forest, and the negotiation of workable compromises can guarantee that we may profit from forest products and services in the future.
