## Description

The forestry association Klostertal comprises the shaded mountain forests of the Klostertal valley of the municipalities of Dalaas and Klösterle and the agricultural community of Stuben. These forest areas are 2/3 protection forest and 1/3 commercial forest. The great importance of these forests lies in the protection of the settlement area against avalanches and mudflows. The sustainable use of the commercial forest areas is an attempt to finance the costly maintenance of the protection forests. A forester is employed by the Klostertal forestry association to manage these forest areas. The forester coordinates the reforestation, maintenance and utilization measures. An essential part is also the maintenance of the infrastructure in the form of the forest roads.

The neighbouring areas of Dalaas, Klösterle and Stuben decided to jointly manage their forestry operations in a form of community cooperation. The Klosteral forestry cooperative (FBG) was founded in early 2022 under the motto "Together we are strong", aiming to promote the economic wellbeing of all members.

Decent Work and Economic Growth

Latest measurements show that the forests managed by FBG Klostertal sequester 3,500 tonnes of CO₂  per year. Additionally, the foresters here are adapting to climate change by planting new tree species which are more resilient to the changing conditions.

Climate Action

The forests of FBG Klostertal are playing a crucial role in protecting the people who live in the Klostertal. These protection forests help in the case of avalanches or rockfall, and do so better than any technological solution. 

Sustainable Cities and Communities

We're committed to supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals in all our forest carbon projects, directly and indirectly, because they are important to us, the people we serve and provide a great framework to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.

Support Climate Protection Projects


**Make your contribution now:** Simply enter the amount in euros and click on "Checkout." The CO₂ credit will be instantly delivered via email.

**Support the forests of Stand Montafon by purchasing TÜV Austria certified CO₂ credits. The financial resources are reinvested 100% directly into the forest. In this way, you make a significant and measurable contribution to climate protection.**

Our forests are threatened and at the same time one of the most important CO₂ sinks. But you can take active steps against it: A Tree.ly principle related to forest climate protection is to first avoid emissions, then reduce them, and finally offset.

**CO₂ footprint examples:**

- 1 round trip car journey from Vienna to Bregenz with a mid-sized car corresponds to approximately 441 kg of CO₂ (~€26.-)
- 1 flight from Zurich to Barcelona corresponds to 390 kg of CO₂ (~€23.-)
- 1 flight from London to New York City corresponds to approximately 1.6 tCO₂ (~€96.-)
- Natural gas bill for, e.g., a 70m² apartment consuming around 9,000 kWh per year with 200 grams of CO₂ per kWh, which amounts to 1.8 tCO₂ (~€108.-)
- Average CO₂ footprint per person in Austria per year: 14.8 tCO₂ (approx. €888.-)

Sustain a forest project now

Traditionally, forest owners generate their income primarily through the use of wood. At the same time, the forest provides other valuable ecosystem services.Tree.ly enables forest owners to generate additional income by increasing the forest's CO₂ storage capacity. This increases the natural CO₂ sink, promotes biodiversity, and preserves the forest for future generations. 100% of the revenue is used for regional forest climate protection projects. 


Regional Forest Climate Protection

"Additional income from the sale of CO₂ credits enables the forestry enterprise to invest in forest maintenance and, above all, to ensure "clean forestry" with sufficient skilled forestry personnel."
