The Cabeça Gorda and Salvada forest is an area approximately 320 hectares
of pine, oaks, eucalyptus, scrub, and grassland, under public administration and
subject to partial forestry regime since 1960. In 2009 an agreement was signed
between the National Forest Authority and the two owners, the parish councils of
Cabeça Gorda and Salvada, in order to transfer management responsibility and
administration from the first organization to the other two.
This thesis is a contribution to establish a framework to multifunctional forest
management of that area whose primary function is to protect water and soil and
provide recreation conditions to the populations living in the surroundings. Some
proposals are presented: lines of action considering the different functions of the forest
such as protection, conservation, recreation, landscape service, production of wood
and non-wood products as well as social and educational activities.
Forest management systems certification requirements from Forest
Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification
(PEFC), have been tested as an exercise to characterize responsible (sustainable)
forest management under the conditions of the Cabeça Gorda and Salvada forest.
Several measures which are deemed essential to achieve sustainable forest
management in the study area are presented.
