The value of environmental services provided by the forest is enormous, and is likely to increase in the future. Very high figures are quoted by researchers. The sums involved have led forest owners and forest practitioners alike to hope that in the end non-wood products and services provided by the forest could begin to bring some returns into the forestry accounts. Many arguments can, however, be brought to speak against this idea. Taking into account the socio-economic characteristics of the country, its traditions and the legal bases for these, any benefits from the public services provided by the forest are likely to continue to evade Swiss forest owners in the near future. In spite of this fact, in the more distant future, a payment for these public services could presumably be shown to be profitable to all concerned.
