The forest of the town of Bad Pyrmont is managed by the municipal forestry company Stadtforst Bad Pyrmont.

The municipal forest covers an area of 2,085 hectares and is predominantly planted with deciduous trees. It is a typical low mountain range operation with a varied terrain, vigorous growth sites and a diverse range of near-natural tree species. The dominant tree species is the copper beech, which grows here in the optimum location. The forestry operation is economically oriented, the current annual felling is planned at around 18,200 cubic metres.

The municipal forest is divided into three large rounded forest areas which, together with agricultural areas, attractively embed the city and thus enable work to be carried out without long journeys. This rural structure helps to ensure that the traffic safety obligations remain manageable and that the recreational pressure does not become a burden for the forest and its employees.

The forestry operation is managed independently, as is timber marketing. These facts create a great deal of room for manoeuvre in forestry as well as creative opportunities to implement your forestry knowledge.
