Wood to Know - Feel Wood II

Towards a more resilient and better understood forest-wood sector: setting course for Feel Wood II!

Following the success of the project Forêt Pro Bos (Interreg France–Wallonia–Flanders programme), which had allowed for the testing of new awareness-raising actions on forestry issues, we are proud to continue this momentum through Feel Wood II — one new cross-border project co-funded by FEDER through the programme Interreg France-Wallonia-Flanders.

Why Feel Wood II?

Because the climate change requires us to adapt our forests, our practices, and our knowledge.
Because it is urgent to To dialogue better between citizens, professionals and decision-makers to resolve misunderstandings and strengthen the link between Forest and wood, between Nature and Society.

Under the themes of transition, of the resilience and of economic development, Feel Wood II is available in four parts:

• Wood to Know (towards a multifunctional forest-wood sector adapted to climate change, knowledge sharing)

• TETrA Wood Cross-border Economic Network for the Ardennes Wood Sector
