About us
Chairmanship
The rotating chairmanship provides chair countries with the initiative to take up relevant topics during their chairmanship.
A core activity of the network is to invite members to the host country for meetings and visits to the forest. The voluntary approach allows each member country to gear up or down according to relevance and resources thus, creating a dynamic network facing current discussions and actions on forest biodiversity in different corners of Europe.
