The aim of this project is to finalise the soil mapping of the Oesling forest soils. In Oesling there are currently still some 6,700 ha of forest soils to be mapped. As the ANF plans to map about 3,000 to 5,000 ha of soil per year, the project will therefore extend over 2 years, provided that the soils are not too dry to be mapped.
