Why Waldstudio

Waldstudio follows two directions:

  • Providing benefits for all stakeholders in the forest sector and for the forest as a valuable ecosystem through technical projects and mandates (« studere » from the Latin: to endeavour diligently, to strive for something).

  • Using the forest as a space for reflection and further development in coaching (« Studio » in German: e.g. studio, studio stage as places for communication and creativity).

The logo's name is Otilia

  • « Otilia » signifies the « rich », « pessesses » and « heiress » in Old High German, Portuguese and Romanian)

  • The logo is scarved from lime wood (« tilia » is the Latin name of the lime tree).

  • The lime is one of the future tree species in Switzerland.

  • Lime leaves are heart-shaped and thus evoke emotions.
