Mission & Goals
The goal of EUSTAFOR is to promote the common interest of state forest in the EU in the scope of their sustainable development. The Association supports and strengthens state forest organizations in Europe to maintain and enhance an economically viable, socially beneficial, culturally valuable and ecologically responsible sustainable forest management. The main objectives of EUSTAFOR are: 1) to analyze and investigate the existing framework conditions within the EU, in order to create the preconditions for sustainable management of state forests; 2) to facilitate and expand an exchange of ideas and contacts between the state forest organizations of Europe; 3) to keep its members regularly informed on topics and issues that concern the whole of Europe.
