Landesanstalt für Wald und Forstwirtschaft

The Bavarian State Institute for Forest and Forestry is a special authority of the Bavarian Forest Administration.

As a staff unit, we support the forestry department of the Bavarian State Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forestry and its offices.

The LWF employs around 180 people. Small teams with short lines of communication allow us to work effectively. Our research teams consist of scientifically trained foresters, experienced forest practitioners and specialists from other disciplines. In our scientific work, we are constantly in touch with practice.
