Continuity of Management of French Forests, Ancien Régime to the Present Day: How the State Takes Long-Term Issues into Account
Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2010.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : By nature, the management of forests requires a long-term approach. Two specific principles underpinning French forestry law emerged as early as the 14th century : the protection of forest usage through the rule of the inalienability of the Crown forest land, and rational planning of tree cutting to ensure a sustainable return. These principles have remained valid over seven centuries, in ways that became well-established very early on. The expansion of French forests since the 19th century reflects the effective application of these principles. The legal framework was completed at the Liberation through the creation of a National Forestry Fund, a special appropriation account at the Treasury which has since been abolished.
