Leave some preservative wood on the wire

Habitat	Function	Type of work
Forest	Living environment, Vegetation	Clear-cutting

In order to maintain biodiversity and ensure ecological coherence, forest management shall maintain the structural elements of habitats (e.g. trees from the previous felling period, old-growth trees and stumps, flatwoods, hardwoods, hollow trees, trees with burn marks, shrub species and species of trees that are not very common in the forest), also taking into account their potential impact on forest health, timber quality, ecosystem condition and human safety.

Description of the action

Leave at least 10 tm/ha of silvopasture in the protected area and on the site of Category I and II species.

Why?

Protected Areas and sites of Category I and II species are the most biodiverse areas of the landscape, so it makes sense to leave more trees there to provide more habitat for different species.
