Promotion of Forestry in Rhineland-Palatinate

With the funding program "Promotion of Nature-Conservation and Climate-Friendly Measures in Forests," the state of Rhineland-Palatinate specifically supports sustainable forestry. The focus is on near-natural management of forest areas to preserve biodiversity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Private individuals, companies, and public institutions receive grants for projects that advance environmental and climate protection, agriculture, and energy efficiency. By incorporating nature conservation guidelines, valuable habitats for native animal and plant species are created, while climate-friendly maintenance measures strengthen forest functions.

Interested parties, including forest owners, forestry administrations, and forestry enterprises with ownership or management rights in Rhineland-Palatinate, can submit applications year-round to the responsible forestry office. Compliance with nature conservation guidelines, clarified in a personal consultation with experts from the Forestry Office Rhineland-Palatinate, is a prerequisite. As the funding provider, the Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy and Mobility Rhineland-Palatinate supports the program conceptually and financially. The continuously open deadlines allow flexible project planning, enabling measures to commence at any time. A detailed overview of funding areas and application procedures is available on the ministry’s and forestry office’s websites—ideal for all who wish to make an active contribution to climate and nature conservation in Rhineland-Palatinate.
