On the Wealth of the Forest

The Alpine forest has countless facets: it is habitat, resource, protection, reservoir, a space for enjoyment and recreation and a refuge.

The protagonists who work with our native wood are as diverse as the flora and fauna: the charcoal burner who has been harnessing the energy of the forest for centuries, the architect who creates excellent modern living spaces with the timber it provides, or the instrument maker who finds sonorous woods in the Alpine forest—all of them and many more have their say and get to talk about life in and with the Alpine forest and its secrets.

Maps, illustrations and impressive photographs give us an understanding of the incredible wealth of the Alpine region, whose preservation is of great importance for us.
