English translation:sections of ... [adjacent?] forest/land
Explanation:
sections of the river bank and [adjacent?] forest/land

Revier most often translates as a forest district, but in your context might refer specifically to land adjacent to the river(which is the original meaning of the Germanized French word) beyond the bank itself. Any further context to help you deduce what the land is to be used for?
