In Sylviculture, the forest installation is the rational of the management of a Main forest or ideally of homogeneous pieces or coherent planning (known as “unit of management” for FSC) from the biogeographic point of view. It is a strategic tool which does not have a universal model; On a case-by-case basis, according to the context and the history of the forest, the amenagist must pose assumptions, make bets or simplifications for its technical choices and of management, for example in connection with the choice of the gasolines “to be arranged”, the rate of reconstitution, management step by step, in bouquet or cut shaves, the diameter or the age of “effective” fructification, the rate and maximum number of demolishable trees per hectare, the seasons of building sites of cut, the maximum surface of the cuts, the number of seed-bearer to preserve per unit of area, the strategy of Débardage, the quantity of deadwood and ofspaces to be protected, etc

Objective

Forest installation aims at making it possible a main forest to fulfill one or more functions, such as;
- reasoned production of wood
- reasoned production of other forest products that wood;
- the maintenance or restoration of the services social and ecological rendered by the forest ecosystem, which implies:
a stabilization of the grounds and forest cover,
the protection of water and grounds, the maintenance of the cultural role, aménitaire and nourrissier of the forest.
protection, restoration and good management of the ecosystem S and the species which compose them;
a shutter “fauna” aiming at control activities of hunting and gathering, in partnership with the local populations and the authorities
… while allowing the reception of the public and the leisures compatible with a durable production…

More and more often since the years 1990, it aims at a step of contractualisation with the bordering populations of the concessions or properties forest. Forest installation can, if it transparent, is documented and supported by credible evidence to contribute to answer the social request of durable Gestion of the forests. It obligatory and is accompanied besides by precise criteria (qualitative and quantitative) for obtaining écolabel S such as PEFC or the FSC.

Means

It rests theoretically on a Inventaire
- mediums and of their history (grounds, Climat, exposure, Topographie)
- Peuplement S (gasolines, types of settlement, ages and dimensions of the trees, productivities, densities)
- associated species (layers low and herbaceous, animals, mushrooms)

So as to define and treat on a hierarchical basis stakes (economic, ecological S, social) and objectives with more or less long run, it rests on;

- a solid, coherent statistical device and of great width.
- a cartographic tool (chart by a show of hands, SIG).

It determines finally actions to implement during the duration of installation year per year and Parcelle by piece, as well as the production discounted in quality and quantity.
