Through their social functions, suburban forests are now considered essential and complementary to the urban environment. Municipalities that own them often try to apply a management model that meets the population's expectations. However, these expectations are often dictated by an idealistic view of the forest, which fails to take real management issues into account. By revealing hunting activity in suburban forests, this article attempts to highlight the different issues at stakes in these new 'urban territories', focusing on the examples of two culturally different cities: Strasbourg in France and Karlsruhe in Germany.
