Forestry of the Third Reich
Welcome at Forestry of the Third Reich!
I'm Steven and i am a collector of forestry from the Third Reich era. I've created this website to inform people about forestry and all related to it during this time period.
You will see that i use my own collection along with information gathered over the years and the help of other forestry collectors to explain this little and for most unknown part of the Third Reich.
Please Donate A Few Dollars To Keep This Site Alive
I could’ve made this website paid-members only, made a book out of it and sold it to you like everyone else, plastered it with advertisement, referred you to expensive law firms to make ends meet,… but I’ve done none of that.
This site is FREE for you to use and you already know that there is NO alternative on the internet that’s as complete, accurate and helpful.
Please consider donating a few dollars to keep this site alive
and up-to-date for yourself and others.
I don’t ask you to pay my bills, all I ask is a meager donation to keep up
with the server cost and maintenance.

Foresters did like foresters do today. Foresters are involved in a large range of activities covering ecological restoration, timber harvesting, and day-to-day management of protected areas. They look after regular activities in the forests, including conservation, outdoor recreation, extraction of raw materials, aesthetics and hunting.
The foresters during the Third Reich era where the first people who made laws that controlled hunting.
