Federal Act on Forest
(Forest Act, ForA)

¹ If re­quired by forest con­ser­va­tion meas­ures or the erec­tion of struc­tures and in­stall­a­tions for pro­tec­tion against nat­ur­al haz­ards, the can­tons may ac­quire the ne­ces­sary landed prop­erty and any as­so­ci­ated ease­ments through com­puls­ory pur­chase.

² The can­tons may de­clare the Com­puls­ory Pur­chase Act of 20 June 1930⁷⁴ to be ap­plic­able in their im­ple­ment­ing pro­vi­sions whereby the can­ton­al gov­ern­ment shall rule on any ob­jec­tions that re­main in dis­pute. If the ob­ject of the com­puls­ory pur­chase ex­tends over the ter­rit­ory of more than one can­ton, the Com­puls­ory Pur­chase Act ap­plies.
