摘要：In the Netherlands, all forestry can be considered to be small-scale forestry, irrespective
of ownership category and holding size. Therefore, this paper describes current issues in
forestry in the Netherlands. Special attention is given to the country’s specific
characteristics: great pressure on land from the large population, intensive use of
different functions of forests, a high level of public awareness of environmental issues,
much detail in the scale of forestry operations, and an intensive public debate on
forestry. The planning and organization of Dutch forests requires a client-oriented,
entrepreneurial, multidisciplinary, and skilled staff capable of dealing with a variety of
interests and interest groups. Factors that inhibit this are:
· the increasing number of diverse demands and pressures on forests which often
conflict;
· the high degree of organization in which almost every opinion or purpose is
supported by a detailed network of associations, foundations and groups which
pursue their aims in a continuous dialogue with each other;
· the increasing alienation of society from forest and nature, which has among others
led to negative public reactions towards tree felling which in turn has influenced the
harvesting of wood.
· a high diversity of forest owner types, with a increasing number of forest owners
managing their forest from a hobby point of view;
· a lack of knowledge and experience and an attitude for entrepreneurship.
· the rather poorly developed forest chains, e.g. in recreation;
· the disappearance of the forest sector and the appearance of a nature sector
(including forests) which makes forests and forest management less visible;
· the output-oriented subsidy system may prevent any further development of
products/services by forest holdings;
· the diversity in owners and holding size combined with the wealth of the country
has led to a large and increasing number of so-called “hobby forest owners”, who
manage their forest as a hobby;
· lack of knowledge and experience of forest owners, a lot of the (especially private)
forest owners are male, relatively old and have a traditional lifestyle.
