EUSTAFOR continues to expand its member base

Only a month after the announcement of Moldsilva’s membership, EUSTAFOR is delighted to announce that yet another State Forestry Organisation has joined our association!

HessenForst‘s membership was unanimously approved during last weeks ExCom meeting. This brings EUSTAFOR up to 39 members in 27 countries, the largest our association has ever been.
HessenForst is the State Forestry Organization in Hessen, a central German state known for its forests. Circa 42% of the states land area is covered by forests, of which almost 80% is managed by HessenForst. 10% of state forests are protected area. Most of their natural forests are characterized by beech, which can reach heights up to 45m in this region.
