Schonwald

A Schonwald is the term used in the German state of Baden-Württemberg for a protected woodland area, in which economic usage of the forest is permitted, but under certain restrictions. The term is not used in other German-speaking regions or is at best a colloquial term there.
"Schonwald" is defined in § 32 of the Baden-Württemberg Forests Act as follows:
A higher level of protection is afforded by the "Bannwald", a term which is also recognised outside the state. Within Baden-Württemberg a "Bannwald" is defined at § 32 of the Forests Act as "a woodland reserve which is left to itself".
