“The traditional role model is breaking down’: more and more women in forest care. Courses for women only teach about forest care – and are very popular.
Almost half of all private forests are owned by women. Most of them are between 40 and 70 years old and tend to live in rural areas. This year there are basic chainsaw courses for women and a Women's Power for the Forest course. “We want to encourage women to take up volunteer positions in forestry or forest care,” explains the headmaster.
