The Alpine Space is a heterogeneous region and practical forestry represents the cultural richness. In the transnational collaboration the intention was the selection of a number of representative regions for particular challenges of forestry in the Alpine Space. Forests are serving numerous societal demands and timber production is not always the prime priority [1]. Figure 1 shows the geographical distribution of the partners participating in the case studies. The case study areas are geographically widely distributed (Figure 2). In each case study area the scientists invoked a discussion with forest owners and stakeholders in forestry issues.
