The working community of the Pyrennes financed the constituion of a network to test the indicators for the forest sustainable management. The discussion between the pilot zones of the Atlantic arc took place within the EUROSILVASUR project, but the intregation of new areas such as the Mdi-Pyrénées and Catalogne required the support of the CTP.
Essencially, the constitution of this network passed by the setting up of 4 meetings on each site that will be held as a pilot zone. These visits were the ocasion to review the available skills of each area, the certification process, the goals to be assign to the all network.
