It's for the benefit of the community and not profit oriented. We carry out regional and local research in and about the "wood quarter" in all areas of regional and local history and geography, the encouragement of history- and homeland awareness, the promotion and deepening of art and culture as well as the support of all efforts concerning the protection of monuments, the protection of the nature and the protection of the environment and further the regional planning.
