Federal Act on Forest
(Forest Act, ForA)

¹ Should gaps arise in the forest due to in­ter­ven­tions or nat­ur­al events which en­danger the sta­bil­ity or pro­tect­ive func­tion of a forest, their re­stock­ing shall be en­sured.

² If this does not oc­cur through nat­ur­al re­gen­er­a­tion, the gaps must be planted with tree and shrubs that are suited to the loc­a­tion.
