Species protection at Forst Eibenstein
German hunting principles are combined with knowledge of modern wildlife biology approaches at FORST EIBENSTEIN and secure wildlife habitats. The species conservation initiative Wildlife Conservation Forst Eibenstein invests in their development in the long term.
Project examples are the protection of field grouse and ground nesting birds in the Upper Palatinate Forest, the development of mountain game in the Tyrolean Alps, Sika and mouflon game protection in the Czech Republic, as well as the Maned Warbler project in Mosor – Croatia.
Workshops at Forst Eibenstein
Under “The knowledge of professional hunting”, we are organizing an extensive series of workshops every year and also in the hunting year 2023/2024. Ranging from hunting practice and wildlife biology to the training of hunting dogs.
Workshops are often held in the Bavaria/Bohemia operation in the area of our headquarters. To complement this, we also have offerings at other locations in various countries, including our field water exercise days in Croatia. Please refer to the detailed descriptions here.
Almost every time real hunting is already part of the workshop or can additionally be booked on typical game of the region at a reasonable price. The workshops will only take place if there is a sufficient number of participants. Until then our offer will be considered as non-binding.
Sustainability at Forst Eibenstein
The use of venison as a food is understood as the purpose of hunting. The Meat of all hunted species in the FORST EIBENSTEIN hunting grounds are used sustainably for human consumption. The resulting pelts go into fur processing. Not to waste anything and to respect the creation is the highest premise of our family business.
People and game in the hunting ground must be well, that is the approach.

Our hunting principles include species conservation and sustainability, regionality and social behavior, ESG compliance, and guest safety.
