It ensures the fulfilment of the duties of the state towards private forest owners offering advices, trainings and facilitating the application for state support. It thus cooperates closely with state institutions and local private forest organizations and is governed by representatives of private forests as well as by civil servants. The main objective of the PFC is to increase sustainable, environmentally friendly and efficient forest management practices in the Estonian forests conducted by the private forest owners. The Private Forest Center is together with the Tallinn Technical University national partner for Estonia in the project. PFC acts as national contact point during the course of the project, and the resources are used further after the project will be ended. In close cooperation with the international partners, PFC hopes to develop a basis for bioenergy use in Estonia and to raise the awareness especially in Estonian private forestry. With the start of the project 2009, PFC will be able to realize a research stressing a holistic overview on the situation for the use of bioenergy in Estonia. The results and experiences will be spread during national and international workshops in the course of the project. Forest owners can use the PFU platform to inform themselves. Individual consultation of private forest owners is foreseen for the second and third year (2010, 2011).
