Centre national de la propriété forestière

Since its creation in 1980, the objective of joint french finnish forest Commission is to promote exchanges and cooperation between these two important forest countries that are Finland and France, in different domains as public and private forests, development and extension services, training and education and research. Each domain being represented through a college, which groups French and Finnish counterparts. 

Its sessions take place alternatively in France and in Finland, every 2 years : in 2006 at the Centre Forestier de la Bastide des Jourdans (France), in 2008 at Joensu (Finland). 

In 2010, under the aegis of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests and with its support, the organisation of the event has been entrusted to CNPF. In particular in the cover of a project entitled ForCoop – that aims to facilitate exchanges between Finnish Forest Regional Centres and French Regional Centres for Forest Ownership, and that organizes a first seminar at the same time and in the same place. 

Then the union of these two events will give a large echoe to the results of the workshops, and the occasion for the participants to share a field visit.
