Abstract

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.
