Question 16979 — woods and forests

Summary

Ms. Barbara Bessot Ballot questions the Minister of Agriculture and Food about the future of forest management in the region, a major subject for the department of Haute-Saône, where the development of forests is a real asset for local development. Indeed, the financial situation of the National Forestry Office seems to be deteriorating, despite various measures taken previously: reduction in staff, stabilization of the compensatory payment, implementation of a tax payable by municipalities, etc. Faced with this sensitive situation, numerous initiatives have been taken, in particular by the National Federation of Forestry Municipalities: reflection on a possible overhaul of the public forest management model, change in organizational methods, governance and relations with the ONF, etc. At the same time, the State has initiated a discussion with all stakeholders on the role and missions of the ONF, and the senatorial study group “Forest and timber sector” was responsible for establishing an information report on the situation of the ONF and its relations with its various partners, in particular the forestry municipalities. For the sake of efficiency, the ONF is a necessary tool to conduct sustainable forest management, but its operating model seems to be revised in question, strongly impacting the management model of municipal forests and therefore raising numerous concerns within the territories. Thus, she questions it in order to enlighten all the stakeholders concerned on the future of forest management, and more particularly in the Haute-Saône department.
