Key legal question
Whether the appeal was admissible under the former OG and forestry legislation
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible in principle and timely only to the extent allowed by federal law; the Federal Supreme Court reviewed legal issues but was bound by the cantonal factual findings absent manifest error.
Extracted reasoning
The impugned decision was based mainly on the Federal Forest Act and thus fell under administrative law appeal jurisdiction under the former OG; factual review was limited under art. 105 cpv. 2 OG.
