The Swiss Forestry Journal (SZF) publishes scientific articles on the development, use and protection of forests. It also prints articles that explore the connections between forests and landscape, natural hazards or society. The geographical focus is on Central Europe.

The journal is aimed at those with a bachelor's or master's degree who are professionally concerned with the forest or the landscape. It sees its role as sharing knowledge and as acting as a link between scientists and practitioners. For the Swiss Forestry Society, the SZF is the official journal.

The Swiss Forestry Society was founded back in 1843. Between 1850 and 1860, it published the «Schweizerisches Forst-Journal». At the same time, the «Journal forestier suisse» was also published. The French edition of the journal was eventually merged into the «Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Forstwesen» in 1946.
