• Over 80% of Swiss forests today regenerate naturally and natural regeneration is increasing.
• Trees that have regenerated naturally are optimally adapted to their surroundings.
• Today trees are planted to strengthen protection forests, promote species diversity, or to produce valuable timber with indigenous tree species.
• Swiss forests are becoming older and denser, and areas with young trees are becoming smaller. This is particularly unfortunate for species that need light and warmth.
