French and Luxembourg forests are economic areas for the production of wood products. Public forests and private forests are not subject to the same legislative framework. This explains the differences in forest management policy according to forest ownership in the planning and management phases, and in the implementation of forestry and harvesting operations. Also, forest multifunctionality is of great environmental importance in the broadest sense. Sustainably managed forested areas protect biotic and abiotic factors. Although forestry law was specifically intended to protect wood products production capacity, it appears at present to be a preventive and repressive tool to support the achievement of forest-related economic, ecological and social missions. In addition, the complex relationship between forests and society demands constant reevaluation of the importance and organization of public access to forest areas. Sharing a common history, France and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg have adopted analogous theoretical approaches to forest legislation. This is brought into focus by the revealing nature of sectoral differences as to the stakes at issue and concerns faced by forest managers to ensure the sustainability of the forest, of its component species, of its habitats and the living environment it offers ; Les forêts françaises et luxembourgeoises sont des espaces économiques, destinés à la production de ressources ligneuses. Les forêts publiques relevant du régime forestier et les forêts privées ne sont pas soumises au même cadre législatif, expliquant les différences de mise en œuvre intellectuelle de la propriété forestière, au cours des phases de planification et de gestion, et de mise en œuvre matérielle de la propriété forestière, au cours des travaux et de l’exploitation. De plus, la multifonctionnalité de la forêt lui confère une grande importance environnementale au sens large. En effet, les espaces forestiers, gérés durablement, sont protecteurs des facteurs biotiques et abiotiques. Même si le ...
