The Ökologischer Jagdverein Nordrhein-Westfalen e.V. (ÖJV.NRW) stands for up-to-date, down-to-earth hunting that is based on the requirements of agriculture and forestry, as well as nature and species protection. Consistent, forest-oriented hunting is the decisive factor for species-rich reforestation. Up-to-date ecological and wildlife biology knowledge as well as comprehensive manual skills are basic requirements for ecological hunting.
