As part of the demonstration of the application of a structured approach for the restoration of black pine forests and spreading its use, an evaluation questionnaire was released. The questionnaire is in Greek as it is mainly meant for Greek experts in post-fire management and forestry staff in order to assess:

• the usefulness of this approach and the development of such methods
• how handy is the approach
• the structure and the criteria

However, the questionnaire is not directed exclusively to experts and professionals. The project team invited all those interested in the post-fire management of black pine forests in Greece to take part in the evaluation.The results of this evaluation will be used in the final version of a structured approach and will be published at project website www.parnonaslife.gr.
