Research Institute for Forest Ecology and Forestry Rheinland-Pfalz (FAWF)
General tasks of the Research Institute for Forest Ecology and Forestry which is a government foundation of the year 1984, are the expansion of knowledge for optimal protection and sunstainable fulfillment of all forest functions. Protection of the environment (protection of soil, water, climate, fauna and flora), Economic use (timber production, labour, income for forest owners), Improvement of quality of life (nature, leasure and sports)
