WOODNAT
SECOND GENERATION OF PLANTED HARDWOODS FORESTS IN EUROPEAN UNION
- Target: to boost European hardwoods forest
- Challenge: market uptake of slow growing species
- Development: collaboration of all actors along the value chain
- Impact: economic sustainability of European autochthon forests
- Idea: improving genetics, optimizing forestry models and developing new products
DESCRIPTION
SEISTAG manages WOODNAT European Project. The work program is focused on the definition of a second generation of planted Walnut forest in the European Union.
The WOODNAT project consists of 9 participants from 5 different European countries – Spain, Italy, France, Bulgaria and Romania. They cover the Southern arch of Europe, the area where walnut grows.
The Project aims to make profitable in Europe the plantation of traditional hardwoods such as Walnut. The challenge is being competitive in an economic activity characterized for its long-term investment return.
The way to do it is the improvement of genetics for a fastest growing of European hardwoods. Therefore, the work involves field experiments in operational environment. Those experiences will give feedback to the genetic modification of hardwoods.
Participants were recruited based on their capabilities, knowledge and complementary skills and how these will be useful to the achievement of the WOODNAT objectives. As it is an Innovation Action, 8 out of 9 are industrial partners, capable of transferring to the market the results of the project. The following impacts are expected thanks to WOODNAT implementation:
- Improved tools for sustainable forest management decisions and operations in primary production systems, marketable within a period of up to three years from the approval, entailing higher efficiency in operation;
- Lower environmental impact of forest management and harvesting operations, in order to preserve forests’ capacity to provide for non-wood forest products and essential ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, water regulation, soil and nutrient regulation, and recreation;
- Sustainable supply of quality wood for the growth of forestry enterprises in the bioeconomy and the creation of new jobs in SMEs...
All the information about the project can be found at WOODNAT website.

The first bunch of Woodnat products are already available in the Web. You can find it at STGnature.com
STGnature is a spin-off from Woodnat Innovation Action but also a commercial project. An open platform for sustainable and innovative wooden products based on European traditional species.
STGnature has been launched in 2019 with the aim of offering a stream of refined wooden surfaces for contract market.
