To derive long term silvicultural strategies for managing forests against wind, snow and fire damage, that obtain the best possible wood quality while addressing the risk of forest damage. To produce generic modelling tools which use the factors common to wind, snow and fire damage; these models should be grounded on an understanding of the forces and site factors acting on single trees or the fuel hazard risks associated with site factors to produce risk assessments to forestry from minor or catastrophic damage.
