Voluntary
The national umbrella of Austria's forest owner associations — mainly small and family forest owners — with eight provincial Waldverbände. Active since 2000, it is non-profit and a professional association of the agricultural chamber (Landwirtschaftskammer). It organises joint timber marketing, gives forestry advice and represents forest owners.
Voluntary membership for forest owners. Membership is through the provincial Waldverband (Burgenland, Kärnten, Niederösterreich, Oberösterreich, Salzburg, Steiermark, Tirol, Vorarlberg) and its local forest management groups (Waldwirtschaftsgemeinschaft). There is no provincial organisation in Vienna. The national website does not state exact conditions (e.g. minimum forest area).
The organisation does not publish its membership fee — please ask directly.
For information only, not legal advice. Mandatory membership is set by local law — each profile lists its source.
