摘要：

In the Netherlands, the pressure on forest businesses is high: most businesses are struggling financially, but at the same time they are faced with an increasing demand from society for their products and services. Since Dutch woodlands are considered to be a major national asset, the Dutch government subsidises the woodland management through different financial instruments. Two important instruments are the Management Programme (Programma Beheer) and the Estates Act (Natuurschoonwet). The (recently introduced) Management Programme is a performance-related subsidy for combined management of nature, woodlands and landscape elements. The Estates Act provides favourable tax arrangements to estate owners for maintaining and managing their property. This article describes the two instruments and the experiences of Dutch forest managers with these instruments.
