How is forest logging organized?

<\/span><\/h2><\/div>
For a forest owner, logging is usually linked to the sale of harvesting rights<\/b>. This means you sell us the right to cut the trees growing in your forest, and we take care of the entire process: planning the work, obtaining the necessary permits, carrying out the logging, and transporting the forest material. You receive fair compensation for your forest without having to worry about organizational details.<\/p>

If desired, we also offer clean logging services<\/b> \u2013 we carry out the logging work under a contract, while the sale of the forest material is managed partially or entirely by you.<\/div><\/header>

    What types of felling operations do we carry out?<\/span><\/h2><\/div>
    The need for logging depends on the age, condition of the forest, and the owner’s objectives. Depending on the characteristics of the property, we carry out different types of felling.<\/div><\/header>
