Informing people about forest management and field operations

Forests are an important part of European environment and
economy. When well managed, they provide a number of ecosystem
services, e.g. clean air and water, wildlife habitats, beautiful
scenery, places for recreation and over 5000 wood or non-wood
products (MCPFE, 2015). Wood products also play an important
role in terms of greenhouse effect mitigation since they store carbon
(Penman et al., 2003). Wood requires less energy to be
extracted, processed and transported than other materials
(UNECE) and represents a source of clean energy.
