The Forstverein was a civic association founded in 1899, whose members were foresters or forest owners, and also functioned as a kind of interest organization. The association's goal was to care for German forests, promote forestry economics and science, and exchange personal ideas. The organization was divided into 22 territorial subdivisions that covered the whole of Germany.
The organization operated in parallel with the Deutsche Jägerschaft (German Hunting Association), founded and led by Hermann Göring. Which was the official hunting society between 1934 and 1945. Membership was mandatory for everyone who had a hunting license.
