    Alpine forests have been part of a pastoral landscape in many regions for centuries. In the nineteenth century, a professional forestry service developed, and the local needs for specific forest uses were supplemented by non-local actors with their specific interests.

Forest history studies contribute to a better understanding of the development of the current situation and provide an important basis for the search for sustainable forest utilisation concepts for the future.
