Perform selective cutting at the right time

Habitat Function Type of work
Forest
High-quality timber
Pre-commercial thinning

Forests need to be renewed and managed in ways that ensure their long-term sustainability and productivity, as well as rapid carbon sequestration and high quality timber.

Description of the action

In young forests, the live crown of conifers should be 1/2 and of deciduous trees 2/3 of the tree height. If it is shorter or starts to shorten, perform thinning.

Why?

Timely thinning in young forests is crucial for maintaining productivity and accelerating carbon sequestration.
