Smart Regions: A European project is boosting the timber industry while protecting the forests in the Alps

With the support of cohesion policy, a European project has developed the “Bois des Alpes” label for wood from the Alps.

Further to originate from the Alp’s, the wood needs to meet strict criteria. It needs to be dry and of good quality.

The label strengthens the local timber industry, while fostering a reduction in Co2 emissions. In the region, the project leads to shorter supply chains for wood and is removing large trees to make room for younger ones, which enables the forest to develop and renew itself naturally.

Have a look at the latest episode of Smart Regions!
