Apply for a conversion permit

The forestry office will decide on your application after weighing up the rights, obligations and economic interests of the forest owners and the interests of the general public against each other and among themselves and after consulting the relevant authorities. This procedure ensures that all arguments in favor of or against a conversion are given due consideration and that the forestry office can steer the forest development on this basis.

For a permit, please contact the relevant forestry office as the lower forestry authority. You can find the contact details on the Rhineland-Palatinate State Forestry website.
