ONEforest Featured in Prestigious Echos d’Ecofor

The distinguished French publication Echos d’Ecofor, created by the Public Interest Group (GIP) Ecofor (Forest Ecosystems), has recently featured the groundbreaking ONEforest project in its latest issue. This article, authored by partners at the Technical University of Applied Sciences of Rosenheim, delves into how the ONEforest project is actively addressing the formidable challenges confronting European forests, driven by climate change and societal needs.

Mechanized Harvesting in Hesse’s ONEforest pilot  

The University of Freiburg, together with Hessen Forst and Forstbetrieb Kaffenberger, conducted a field study in Hesse, one of the designated Case Study Regions under the ONEforest initiative. The focal point of the research was the forest district Homberg, home to a 95-year-old woodland predominantly featuring European beech (Fagus silvatica). This ancient stand also boasted a diverse mix of ash (Fraxinus excelsior), oak (Quercus spp.), sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus), European larch (Larix decidua), and spruce (Picea abies).
