The behavioural code for forestry management - regulation pressure for forest owners.
Abstract
Dutch forest owners have to abide by the Flora and Fauna law, as well as the behavioural code for forestry management (regarding protection of specific groups such as birds, ant hills, and badgers). Forest owners feel pressurized by the latter as certain elements are unclear (such as if some protection measures apply all year round). Future developments regarding legal aspects of nature protection are discussed.
