It was stressed, that the new forest strategy will have a holistic view of all related policies and should end in an “package”. Barrie Hudson from ENFE underlined clearly the social demands in the report. He asked for a new “sustainable forest workforce” (SFW) beside the well-known sustainable forest management (SFM).
The importance and necessity of a special part in the new Forest Strategy dedicated to the social demands was underlined during the entire discussion that followed the presentations.
