Clear-cutting

Preserving and creating habitats for wetland species ensures greater biodiversity.

Description of the action

If planning logging in spring, cut the understory in the previous autumn or winter.

Why?

Birds may establish temporary nests in the understory in spring, and logging operations may damage them. To prevent this, conduct understory logging before nesting begins.
