Anyone who is to take on an important task at some point in their life needs strong companions along the way. This is also the case in the forest, especially in the mountain forest at an altitude above 1000 meters.
Climate change also challenges our mountain forests. In the mountain forest, increased efforts must be made so that the forest can exist, in particular it can continue to fulfill its function as a protective forest. Adaptation to climate change requires, among other things, regeneration of the forest. In order for this regeneration to be realized, light must be obtained. This is achieved through logging operations that improve conditions for young trees and their future.
In order for the young forest to grow and have chances for a future, the individual young plants need companions. This is because the native game enjoys the young, fresh plants and unconditionally saturates itself in the wild. The solution for protection from game browsing is called "Cumpogn", which means "companion" in the Romansh language. A wooden fence that protects the young tree species from the game and gives them a safe start into the future. The goal is to develop a stable fence that does not require wire mesh, nails or screws, is made entirely of local wood, is easy to transport and simple for anyone*to erect. In the sense of a natural, sustainable forest management.
