Federal support for forestry

• Since 2016, federal funding has been geared towards climate change adaptation, including greater support for forest tending measures in areas not classed as protective forest.<br />• Federal funding for forest tending measures were raised on an exceptional basis in the period 2021–24, owing to stronger and more diverse climate impacts, particularly as a result of drought years.<br />• The Integral forest and wood strategy 2050 will enable better coordination of forest policy and wood resource policy, and places federal funding for forests on a new political footing.
