What you’re investing in
Forests at a critical juncture
Biodiversity
Forests provide valuable habitats for various species of animals, plants, insects and microorganisms. As a functioning ecosystem, the forest needs biodiversity to remain stable. An endangered forest threatens the biodiversity that our planet will continue to need in the future. Investments in forest climate protection projects are therefore also investments that promote biodiversity.Climate Change Resilience
Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent as a result of climate change, causing immense damage to forests. Monocultures with shallow roots in particular are more frequently exposed to large-scale damage. The forest of the future needs mixed stands and climate-adapted tree species, and measures and investments are needed to establish these.Regional Co-Benefits
Natural ecosystem processes such as the nutrient cycle, the water balance and soil fertility are preserved. Regions and local communities will benefit from them. Additionally, our regional projects allow for a direct relationship with the foresters for employee engagement opportunities to bring your sustainability strategy alive with an educational forest visit.Forests with unique features
Discover the projects within the portfolio
Vorarlberg: Stand Montafon
Most of its forest areas are located in mountainous terrain, over 1,200 m above sea level. This makes management more difficult and at the same time results in an increased protective function. With more than 90 % protective forest, the Stand Montafon contributes significantly to the habitability of the Montafon.
Tyrol: Kappa Private Foundation
In the past, the area was intensively forested. Today, the forest consists of productive coniferous forests, mainly spruce and fir, which extend over an altitude of 850 to 1840 metres above sea level. More than half of the productive forest area is managed as protection forest, which emphasises the importance of sustainable forest management and the protection of natural resources.
Lower Austria: Forestry office Kinsky Burg Heidenreichstein
The project promotes natural regeneration and natural forest communities, and produces high-quality roundwood in accordance with PEFC.
Vorarlberg: City of Bludenz
In the Bludenz forest, there are about 870 hectares of nature reserves, which play a decisive role in the preservation of biodiversity. They provide long-term protection for the environment, promote natural forest development and high drinking water quality.
Tyrol: Municipal Agricultural Association Flirsch
The project of the Flirsch municipal estate association is currently in the certification process. A special feature of this mountain forest project are the eological- and thus growth differences between the sun exposed side of the mountain and the shaded mountain side.
Carinthia: Forest Administration Dr. Heinrich Orsini-Rosenberg
The forest is located on the northern slope of the Jauken massif in the Gailtal Alps and is situated at altitudes between 600 m and 1,900 m above sea level.
Styria: Augustinian Canons' Monastery Vorau
The forest is actively used for educational purposes by guiding regional school classes through its grounds. Additionally, efforts are made to show supporters of the forest climate protection project the areas and measures on site, in order to raise awareness about nature conservation.
Vorarlberg: Forest Management Cooperative Jagdberg
Different structures, from the former alluvial forest to the tree line, different development situations - that is what makes the FBG Jagdberg so special.
Tyrol: Municipal Agricultural Association Schnann
The protective forest areas protect the region from serious natural hazards.
Tyrol: Municipal Agricultural Association Jerzens
In the high elevations above Jerzens, expansive stone pine forests stretch across the landscape, shaping the region's natural scenery. These dense forests play a crucial role as protective woodland, providing the village with long-standing protection from natural hazards such as avalanches and mudslides.
Vorarlberg: FBG Klostertal
This project includes the shady mountain forests of the Klostertal valley in the municipalities of Dalaas and Klösterle and the agricultural community of Stuben. Due to the topographical location, timber harvesting and processing requires a great deal of labour and expensive technology.
Tyrol: Municipal Agricultural Association Pettneu
The forest of the municipality of Pettneu is characterized by a high proportion of protective forest, safeguarding the important S16 highway and the Arlberg railway line from avalanches, rockfall, erosion, and other natural hazards.
Styria: Forestry office Gstatt
What makes this forest area unique is its location in the high mountains, which presents a special challenge for management. The parcels extend in altitudes ranging from about 1,000 meters to approximately 2,700 meters above sea level. About 25 % of the total area is utilized for economic purposes, including productive protective forests
Tyrol: Municipal Agricultural Association Ladis
Primarily old spruce forests are found in these areas. For the conservation of the biomass and ecosystem your support is important.
