1. Luxembourg in Nature
Luxembourg is famous for its abundant forest and greenery. The
majestic trees within the area have been witnesses of what the
country had gone through over the years. However though, as
Balmoral International Group Luxembourg has pointed out,
Luxembourg’s forest is in dire need of reforestation and more
attention.
The Luxembourg forest contains no natural forest and has been
strongly stamped by human activity. The different forests types
are: broadleaved forests – mostly beech & oak (47% of the
total), mixed forests – lobed-leaved trees and conifers such as
spruces & pines (35%), coppices and bark hedges (15%), non
forested areas – shrubs, forest roads, quarries, clear cuttings,
etc. (3%). With the retreat of farming over the last century, the
forest area has increased, nowadays covering a bit less than 35%
of the national territory as a whole. The Ardennes region is the
most heavily wooded. Forests are managed by the public
authorities and an association of private owners. Some 33% of
the forests of Luxembourg are municipal woods, 11% are owned
by the state, 1% belongs to public administration, and the
remaining 55% are private forests.
Two threats are of main concern for Luxembourg: floods and
forest stability. The higher air temperatures will lead to more
frequent and more stringent stress conditions for agricultural
plants and forestry, most severely impacting perennial forest
trees.
Observations on the phytosanitary state of Luxembourg forest – a
rather “old” forest – show a sharp degradation – which seems to
have stabilised nowadays – resulting, among other factors (air
pollution, diseases due to insect infestations, impoverishment of
forest soils, and deficiencies in magnesium and calcium) from
climate change. The ageing of the forest also increases the risk of

2. outbreak of diseases and of infestation by insects and other
parasites that could proliferate if more mild winters and overall
general temperatures are recorded in Luxembourg.
Tangible benefits of forests for people: changes in tree cover;
changes in socio-economic resilience; changes in availability of
specific forest products (timber, non-timber wood products and
fuel wood, wild foods, medicines, and other non-wood forest
products).
Intangible services provided by forests: changes in the incidence
of conflicts between humans and wildlife; changes in the
livelihoods of forest-dependent peoples (also a tangible benefit);
changes in socio-economic resilience; changes in the cultural,
religious and spiritual values associated with particular forests.
If you happen to pass by the forests in Luxembourg when you
visit, acknowledge its vitality and look into its vulnerability.
Awareness is what we are vying right now to restore our forest’s
growth.
