Welcome

KnowForAlp means Knowledge Network Forestry in the Alpine Space.

With this ambitious project, a forestry network is being set up in the Alps and Alpine foothills for the first time. The project brings together various forestry institutions.

Our principle aim is to create a permanent framework for cooperation within the Alpine region. Existing barriers to cross-border teamwork, such as are caused by the many languages and differences in institutional structure in the different countries, are to be minimized. The network should also serve to improve the communal spirit in general among the European countries and form a common basis for future cooperation.

The European Union supports the measure under the community initiative, “Interreg IIIB”, and contributes to the project costs. With 19 partners from the 7 Alpine countries, all important parties in forestry are involved in the project.
