Description

The Stand Montafon includes the Forstfonds-managed forests in the areas of Bartholomäberg, Gaschurn, Silbertal, Schruns, St. Anton im Montafon, St. Gallenkirch, Tschagguns and Vandans. The project area covers 6,470 ha, making Stand Montafon the largest forest owner in Vorarlberg. The project analysis foresees a creditable carbon sink performance of about 353,000 tonnes of CO₂ in 30 years, or about 11,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year for 30 years. A large part of the forest stock is located at least 1,200m above sea level, in mountainous terrain. This makes management more difficult but also results in an increased protective function. With the additional financial resources generated, Stand Montafon can manage these areas even more sustainably.

Quote from the Forest Owner

"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."
