Lecture on the Müritz National Park with a view beyond
The future of forests has once again been on everyone's lips since the completion of the National Forest Inventory. It is supposed to supply wood, save the climate and biodiversity, heal the alienated human soul.
With the exception of timber production, these demands also give rise to key priority tasks for the national park forests east of the Müritz. But the forest will not remain as it is today. Can the forest continue to meet these requirements despite constant change? And what did today's strictly protected forests, which are known far beyond the borders of the federal state, once look like? What developments are characteristic and are the concerns about the continued existence of the copper beech, which currently characterizes the particularly near-natural forests, justified? Matthias Schwabe, Head of Research and Monitoring at the Müritz National Park Authority, will answer these and other questions in his lecture by tracing the development of forest nature over the past 35 years or more and taking a closer look at specific examples from the oldest forests in the Müritz National Park.
Admission to the lecture is free of charge, but a donation would be appreciated.
