Understanding, Shaping, and Sustainably Managing Your Own Forest

How do fir, spruce, and Douglas fir differ? Which tree species can tolerate shade, and how do forests respond to heat and drought? The online information evening Forest Basics for Forest Owners provides practical foundational knowledge for women who want to manage their forests more safely and sustainably on October 14, 2026.

Forest Knowledge from Women for Women

Female forest managers from the Bavarian Forest Administration and women from forestry associations provide easy-to-understand insights into tree species, biodiversity, climate change, and the most important responsibilities of a forest owner. The event is especially aimed at new female forest owners, women without prior forestry knowledge, and anyone who has not yet dared to manage their forest.

Recognizing Tree Species and Understanding Connections

The focus is on specific questions from the daily life of forests: How can one distinguish between fir, spruce, and Douglas fir? Which tree species are shade-tolerant? Which decisions strengthen the resilience of one’s own forest? The compact format combines professional orientation with practical examples and opens up an understandable access to local nature and forestry.

Forests in Climate Change

Heat, drought, and changing site conditions pose new challenges for forest owners. The information evening shows the role of tree species selection, biodiversity, and sustainable forest management for future-ready forests. This creates a practical discovery experience with valuable impulses for individual decisions in the forest.

Online Information Evening and Regional Forest Walks

The one-hour introductory lecture will take place online via Cisco WebEx. Additionally, regional Forest Basics walks in October invite for nature experiences, open discussions, and in-depth forest knowledge. The short hikes typically last about two and a half hours. During this time, women forest managers convey knowledge directly at the forest stand and create space for individual questions, new perspectives, and practical ideas.

Conclusion: Confidently Entering Your Own Forest with Knowledge
