The Reich Forestry Office (German: Reichsforstamt) was the highest authority for forestry, hunting, timber management, nature conservation, and the preservation of natural monuments in Nazi Germany.
[1] Its aim was to preserve forested areas due to their importance to the nation's culture and industry.
[2] At the head of the authority was the Reichsforstmeister (Reich chief forester) with the rank of Reichsminister, though in hunting-related matters the designation Reichsjägermeister (Reich chief hunter) was used.
The various regional forest offices were made subordinate to the new authority.
In 1935 it was merged with the Prussian State Forest Office.
