Natural forest management
At FBG Jagdberg, the long-term sustainability of the forest takes centre stage. The primary objective is to utilise the natural resources of the forest in such a way that the integrity of the ecosystem is preserved and future generations can also benefit from it.
Biodiversity
The FBG Jagdberg forest has a great diversity of plants, animals and habitats thanks to its near-natural management. This ensures optimum biodiversity.
Natural processes
Natural processes are favoured in the forest stands of the various municipalities and agricultural communities. Deadwood, nesting trees and natural forest regeneration are of particular importance.
Genuine
Meaningful actions with your money
Forest Restructuring
Monoculture stands are being converted into climate-resilient mixed forests.
Reforestation
Reforestation of former damaged areas with near-natural tree species.
Regeneration
Measures such as browsing protection, regeneration-promoting measures, etc.
Conservation
Biodiversity enhancement, deadwood, water protection.
Protection forest
Supporting the protective function of the forest against avalanches, landslides, etc.
Harvesting
More expensive timber harvesting due to difficult accessibility, support by expensive technology such as cable cranes etc.
Forest Infrastructure
Accessibility is improved by forest infrastructure.
Voices from the forest
"To be able to invest directly in the quality and stability of the forest, the additional income is a very valuable contribution."
Walter Amann
Forestry Operations Manager FBG Jagdberg
Problems
Insight into the challenges
Conversion of forest stands that are not adapted to their location
The forest stands that do not correspond to the current climate change are being actively reorganised using forward-looking methods. Particular attention is paid to the selection of suitable tree species with the aim of creating stable, resilient and sustainable mixed forests.
Regeneration of overaged protection forests
The protection forests in particular play a special role at FBG Jagdberg, as they are of great public interest. The aim here is to rejuvenate the overaged forest stands with suitable and site-adapted tree species and to ensure long-term stability.
Climate change
Due to the ongoing climate change, there is a change in forest communities. This means that more thermophilic and drought-tolerant tree species are replacing the less well-adapted species. To ensure that this change is accompanied by no loss of various forest functions, it is important to make the right decisions and act accordingly.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
How this project supports the SDGs
SDG4
High-quality education
By regularly organising educational events and establishing an interactive 'Forest Knowledge Trail' on its premises, FBG Jagdberg is helping to promote high-quality education aimed at sustainable development.
SDG 12
Sustainable Consumption and Production
By intensifying the sustainable and near-natural management of these often very old forests, the protection forest areas in particular are revitalised and stabilised for future generations.
SDG 13
Climate Protection Measures
The climate protection project and the commitment not to fall below a certain stock level within the next 30 years will help to preserve the carbon sink in the forest.
SDG 15
Life on land
The FBG Jagdberg has decided to plan so-called stepping stone biotopes at ecologically particularly valuable locations. These are subsequently taken out of use, scientifically assessed and analysed. In addition, the FBG Jagdberg attaches great importance to the preservation of deadwood, breeding cavity trees and veteran trees. A large number of these ecologically valuable trees have been mapped and marked.
ISO 14064-2:2019 Based Methodology
Our projects utilise the "SILVACONSULT® Forest Carbon Standard" methodology in accordance with ISO 14064-2:2019, which ensures that companies use transparent and consistent methods to measure and report their emissions.
Externally certified projects
In cooperation with our partner, we organize the validation of our projects by an external certifier such as TÜV Austria. We then coordinate the annual monitoring by the certifier as well as the marketing and distribution of the verified climate protection services (VER).
