Almost 700,000 hectares of forest cover our national territory: a unique resource and heritage! Multiple, managed for centuries, at the heart of contemporary social issues, the Belgian forest is one of the key players in our sustainable development. Through a selection of around thirty forests, designed to cover the whole of Belgium, Olivier Baudry guides the reader through the major forestry issues and themes: the cycles of the forest and trees, the situation of forests in Belgium, the main tree species, sustainable forest management, traces of the past, the work of man, flora and fauna, water and soil protection, and the link with agriculture.
