Forestry ‘from stand to landscape’ Forestry, or more broadly the sustainable management of forests, aims to create a natural and productive balance in the forest system through species diversification, layering of strata, and the complementarity between soil, trees, wildlife, and climate. As an active and sustainable management practice, forestry is a cornerstone of the rural and natural landscape, essential for the economic health of regions, provided that foresters master the necessary techniques and supply chains. A true Swiss army knife, a managed forest combines production and ecosystem services. Forestry ensures living, resilient, and multifunctional forests. Some concrete benefits: Climate: trees capture CO₂ and release oxygen. They store carbon in their biomass (wood, roots) and promote its sequestration in forest soils. They regulate the local climate, mitigate heat waves, and buffer storms. Water: Forests regulate the water cycle; better infiltration, protection of water sources, reduction of erosion and runoff, natural water filtration… Soil: diversity of species, permanent litter, and roots structure the soil, enrich humus, and maintain fertility. Forestry management is inspired by the forest’s natural cycle to limit inputs and preserve soil life. Biodiversity: diverse stands create rich habitats for wildlife and plants, promote pollination, seed dispersal, and natural pest control. They ensure a continuous green network, evolving over time and space. Human well-being: managed forests provide timber, energy, non-timber forest products (fruits, resin, honey…), as well as shade, cooling, recreation, and mental health benefits for local communities.
