Welcome to Woodland Visions
Forestry is not about trees, it is about people. And it is about trees only insofar as trees can serve the needs of people." (Jack Westoby, FAO , 1987)
With this quote the author - who was affiliated with UN-FAO as an economist - points out that all experts on forests and trees should be aware that their work is determined by human interests. Forests and trees have existed long before the ris of humanity in evolution and they will still exist once humanity in its current incarnation will be but a footnote in the planet's history.

In this spirit "Waldvisionen" (Woodland Visions) contributes to illustrate the manifold ecological, economic and social interests and needs towards woodlands and their uses and functions and to provide tools for their planning and valuation.
Our activities are therefore at the interface of economic, social-, engineering- and natural sciences, methods and knowledge.
