As of 2024, around 43% (approx. 854,000 hectares) of the state\u2018s area was forested. Sustainability has been the guiding principle in forestry for over 300 years. In near-natural silviculture, implemented forestry measures are oriented towards natural processes. The goal is to steer the development of forests in such a way that they provide both economic yields and social and ecosystemic services. One principle of near- natural silviculture is the establishment of species-rich mixed forests, which are also more resilient to the consequences of climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/225_b1-1024x768.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"box-shadow:none\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/225_2_eng.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At this site, two different forms of forest management can be found. On the right-hand side, a young forest is growing on the glade from the seeds of the old trees aft er clearing. Wind, birds and other animals help to disperse the seeds. In addition, new trees, Douglas firs, have been planted. A fence protection prevents browsing by roe deer and red deer. This creates a new species-rich forest. On the left , you can see an area of forest that has been almost left to grow on its own. It is a mixed forest of beech, oak, pine and spruce that can renew itself and requires only minor protection measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multifunctionality of forests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-b4f5bed3 uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-left uagb-infobox-left uagb-infobox-stacked-tablet uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-image-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lehrpfad.umwelt-campus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/225_i1-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h4 class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Soil fertility and regeneration<\/h4><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\">Nutrient-rich humus is formed from dead plant remains with the help of soil organisms and fungi.
