The Bavarian State Forests (BaySF) demonstrate how modern and sustainable forestry can be implemented in practice. This includes the proactive establishment of log storage place to stabilize the market, consistent bark beetle management, digital log sales, and the Climate Forest Fund, which facilitates continuous forest management even during more challenging periods. Together with the principle of “forest before game” and a focus on successful forest regeneration, these measures provide a solid foundation for recognizing BaySF as Forestry Company of the Year 2026.
