Forest management and fellings

Sustainable forest management

In the use of forests, measures are taken to integrate timber production and measures that promote forest biodiversity, recreational use of forests, game management and landscape management.  

The role of forests in mitigating climate change as carbon sinks and storages is also part of forest management. 

Silviculture and harvesting

Regeneration and regeneration fellings

Forests can be regenerated naturally or by cultivation.

Thinning

Thinnings are used to steer the development of trees by removing some of them.

Continuous cover forestry

The forest is kept forested at all times, with trees of many sizes and ages.

Tending of seedling stands

Tending of seedling stands involves early clearing and thinning of seedlings.

Forest fertilisation

Forest fertilisation is the fastest way to increase tree growth.

Management of commercial forests

Forest damage

Various organisms and natural phenomena cause damage in forests.

Climate-resilient forest management

The aim is forest health, vitality, and biodiversity.

Management of swamp forests

The management of swamp forest areas should be planned as an integrated whole.
