During the second half of the Advantage Hardwood Project, the three work packages - ForestManagement, Business Development and Regional Planning, become more and more integrated.For example, seminars combine European spatial development planning with business develop-ment and forest management with planning of rural development. This way of working will enablethe main target groups of the Advantage Hardwood project, i.e. forest owners, hardwood industry,regional planners and lecturers at colleges, to develop their own tools and adapt them to regionalor local conditions.
