forest care and regeneration

The machine removal is carried out with a full harvest, with reversing masses being created at a distance of 20 to 40 meters. It should be noted that strong soil compaction occurs in these backlashes, which leads to a regeneration period of over 100 years. Traveling of the stocks is prohibited and the stocks are flipped through every five years. You attach great importance to natural rejuvenation and the promotion of stable trees in the protection of the old stocks, especially of deciduous tree species. Climate -resistant tree species such as tree hazel, red oak and tulip trees are used in the afforestation.
