FORADVISE is a Horizon Europe project dedicated to strengthening and expanding forest advisory networks across Europe. By empowering forestry advisors through digital tools, training, and peer-to-peer collaboration, we aim to modernize knowledge exchange and improve decision-making in forestry.

Through these efforts, we aim to contribute significantly to sustainable forestry management, biodiversity conservation, and climate resilience throughout Europe, supporting the long-term goals of the EU Forest Strategy and Green Deal.

Connection with FOREXT Network

FORADVISE builds upon the foundations established by FOREXT, the Network of Forest Extension Organizations in Europe, officially launched in 2019. With 21 FORADVISE consortium partners actively engaged in FOREXT, the project leverages this established platform to enhance cooperation, trust, and shared objectives.
