Summary

As in all agrarian economies, the development of forestry in the Basque society of the Ancient Regime played an important role in the development of a wide variety of productive activities. The use of various activities associated to forestry, did not only allow for the procurement of the basic elements for subsistence in rural areas, but also provoked the development of specialised activities, of a highly industrial and mercantile character, mainly centred in the siderurgy and shipbuilding.
