directions and the need for reform - these two catch phrases
dominate the political discussions around forests, forestry, and
forest research in many European countries. In Germany there is
concern about the reduction of university positions in forestry, as
there is across Europe about the new, more economically ori- tated
direction of forest management. For example, in 2004 the Bavarian
electorate defeated a referendum about the restructuring of the
forest administration, largely because of concern about changes to
nature conservation and recreation mana- ment. Obviously, the new
trends in forest management imposed by commercial interests stand
in stark contrast to the overall expectations society has of
effective multi-functional forest management (Deutscher Rat fur
Landesp ege 2004). The administrative desires for reform on the one
side and - often contradictory - societal demands on the other are
the reason to undertake an investigation of the European model of
multi-functional forest management.
