FORESNA is interested in joining a FORESTPathways consortium addressing forest resilience and adaptation to climate change, particularly projects seeking to connect scientific knowledge on forest responses to climate change with practical management and adaptation strategies.
As a forest owners’ association, FORESNA can facilitate access to managed forests and the involvement of private, municipal and community forest owners, providing opportunities for field testing, monitoring and demonstration of climate-adaptation measures under operational forest conditions.
Navarre (Spain) offers a particularly interesting context for this type of cooperation due to its high diversity of forest ecosystems and environmental conditions, allowing different forest types, management approaches and responses to climate-related pressures to be considered within the same territory.
FORESNA can contribute to the identification of climate-related challenges and management needs, selection of suitable forest areas and case studies, implementation and monitoring of field activities, stakeholder engagement, and demonstration and transfer of science-based adaptation solutions to forest owners and practitioners.
We are particularly interested in cooperation related to forest vulnerability and resilience, climate-adaptive forest management, monitoring and demonstration of adaptation measures, ecosystem services, and the translation of scientific knowledge into practical management solutions.

FORESNA – Forest Association of Navarre is a non-profit organisation representing and supporting private, municipal and community forest owners in Navarre, northern Spain. Its mission is to promote sustainable, active and multifunctional forest management and to support forest owners in addressing the environmental, economic and social challenges affecting forests and rural areas.
FORESNA combines technical forestry expertise with extensive on-the-ground experience, working directly with forest owners, local authorities, forest professionals and rural communities. This provides the organisation with a strong understanding of the practical needs, opportunities and barriers associated with forest management.
The organisation participates in innovation, demonstration and knowledge-transfer initiatives related to sustainable forest management, climate adaptation, forest bioeconomy, diversification of forest products and services, ecosystem services and rural development. FORESNA also has experience in stakeholder engagement, participatory processes, environmental education and communication and dissemination activities.
A particular strength of FORESNA is its capacity to act as a bridge between research, innovation and forest management practice. The organisation can facilitate access to forest owners and potential pilot and demonstration areas, support the design and implementation of field activities, mobilise relevant territorial stakeholders and contribute to the transfer, demonstration and uptake of project results within the forestry sector.
FORESNA is interested in cooperating with universities, research organisations, forest owners’ organisations, forest managers, public authorities, companies and other forestry-sector stakeholders across Europe.
