Date: Friday 8 May 2026 | Start time: 9:30 AM
Venue: ScamBioLogico, Potenza

Legambiente holds the Lucanian leg of Foreste in Tour, a territorial initiative dedicated to forest ecosystems. The meeting addresses sustainable management practices, planning tools and the promotion of forest certification to enhance local woody resources.

• Goals: encourage sustainable forest management, support certification, accelerate territorial planning and promote cascade use of natural resources.
• Focus areas: forests' contribution to climate change mitigation, natural risk reduction, opportunities for the bioeconomy and decarbonisation of the local economy.
• Audience: local authorities, forest owners, managing bodies, companies and cooperatives, professionals, research centres and scholars.
• Partners and sponsors: FIPER, UNCEM, PEFC Italy, FSC Italy, CREA, Federazione Filiera Legno, Cluster Italia Foresta Legno, Conlegno, LegaCoop and Appennino Lucano National Park.

In Basilicata forests cover nearly 40% of the regional territory: this event aims to urge local policies to improve forest management, increase planning and certification, and support the creation of skilled jobs in the sector.

Participation and practical information: the initiative brings together public and private stakeholders to define sustainable development strategies for the woodland heritage. For logistical details or registration, contact the local organisers or the ScamBioLogico venue in Potenza.
