Abstract: In the Piedmont region, in North-West Italy, the abundance of unmanaged woods has led to negative environmental and economic consequences, generating a decrease in the ecosystem services supplied and in the provision of low-value timber products. In this context, increased logging activities could create new development opportunities for the rural areas in which most of the abandoned stands are situated.
