Eberswalde Forestry Research Institute of the State of Brandenburg (LFE)
Institution
Section overview
Description
LFE – Eberswalde Forestry Research Institute of the State of Brandenburg: More than 37 % of the State of Brandenburg are covered with forests. Modern forestry has to meet ecological and economical requirements. For sustainable management of forests, solid scientific knowledges are necessary. Forestry education and research is based in Eberswalde for more than 175 years. On behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture an Environmental Protection LFE consists of working groups in the departments Data-Management and Documentation, Forest-Development and Economical Planning. The institute offers scientific and technical services in general for public forest agencies.
