The demands society places on forests in the northernmost part of Baden-Württemberg are as diverse as the growing conditions. Between urban agglomerations and rural idylls, the aim is to establish climate-stable forests and secure them for future generations. From forest conservation in marginal locations to competition control in fast-growing mixed stands, those responsible face complex management challenges. The presentation highlights the initial conditions and local adaptation strategies for state forests in the context of climate change.
