European forests have a thousand-year history of use and hence long history of planning. While forests in certain historical periods have been exploited today the rate of use is low. In Europe, we have a complex regulatory system, which is often not consistent between countries and regions. The diversity of forest owners is one of the factors that have shaped the diversity of forest management approaches. Attention is increasingly focused on the management of protected forest habitats (e.g. Natura 2000 habitats). It is actually an important aspect to take into account the Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43 / EEC). Although uncertainty remains due to the unpredictability of ecological systems, certain measures for the management are required under Article 6 of the Directive. In addition, participation of stakeholders in this context is essential for the general acceptance and effectiveness of protective measures. With this article we want to emphasize integrated management of forest at different spatial scales and levels of government. We present three case studies (local, county and regional level), in which owners and stakeholders were involved in management decisions in Natura 2000 sites.
