New brochures promote the use of Bernese wood
Lignum Holzwirtschaft Bern has published a series of brochures under the name "Forest and Wood Compass". The practical documents are intended to support authorities and administrations in the sustainable use of forests.
The cantonal platform of the Bernese forestry and timber industry, Lignum Holzwirtschaft Bern, aims to promote awareness of the forest and encourage demand for local timber. To enable authorities and administrations to use forests sustainably, the association of Bernese forest owners, the Bernese Sawmill Association, the Swiss Timber Construction Section Bern and Bernese Oberland, the Master Carpenters’ Association Bern and Bernese Oberland and Holzenergie Canton Bern has published a series of brochures entitled “Forest and Wood Compass”. The practical documents were compiled with the support of the Wyss Academy for Nature, Lignum Holzwirtschaft Bern explains in a press release.
The “Forest and Wood Compass” series is divided into an overview brochure and three topic-specific brochures. The overview brochure is entitled “Forest and Wood Compass for Bernese Regions”. The three topic-specific brochures deal with regional wood in public buildings, efficient forestry structures and financial incentives to secure certain forest services. All brochures can be downloaded at lignumbern.ch/wald-holz-kompass/.
The mandate for Lignum Holzwirtschaft Bern is managed by Volkswirtschaft Berner Oberland.
