Goals / remit
| Goals / remit of the organisation: |
The Confederation of European Forest Owners (CEPF) is the umbrella association of national forest owner organizations in the European Union. It works as the representative of family forestry in Europe, by promoting the values of private property ownership and sustainable forest management.
CEPF's mission is to assist and strengthen an economically viable, socially beneficial, culturally valuable and ecologically responsible sustainable management of private forests. CEPF serves the interests of the approximately 16 million forest owners. They are private individuals and families who take care of more than half of the forest area of the European Union.
These forests pass from one generation to the next through inheritance. The forests are not only inherited from our parents, they are on loan from our children.

Activities
Main EU initiatives covered the year before by activities falling under the scope of the Transparency Register:
|
The CEPF activities aim at fostering reliable political framework conditions and strengthening national forest owners’ organizations capacities in order to maintain and enhance an economically viable, socially beneficial, culturally valuable and ecologically responsible sustainable forest management.
The individual forest owners are part of social networks from semi-rural to remote rural areas to which Community policies may be not easily communicated. CEPF acts on emerging issues, making expert and constructive contributions on behalf of the forest owners. In this sense, CEPF has a bridge building role, enabling family forest owners from the local level to voice their concerns and transfer their knowledge to be available at the European level.
CEPF represents the interests of these forest owners through active participation in, monitoring of and working with the institutions of the European Union and other international initiatives.
CEPF has a active role in the EU Advisory Group on Forestry and Cork. The Advisory Group includes representatives of European forest owner organisations (public and private), forest-based industries, environmental NGOs, forest trade unions, traders and consumer groups. It has 49 members, off which CEPF holds 9 seats.
CEPF has an observer status in leading processes and organizations which shape forestry and forest policy in Europe and worldwide.
