Young forest management is an important task and an investment in the future, but it can also offer the forest owner wood trade income from energy wood or pulpwood. The measure will revive the value growth of your forest and make future felling financially more profitable. The service is only available in Finland.
Entrust young forest management to professionals
Young forest management can be carried out by a forest worker or with a harvester. Preliminary clearing is often required before mechanical harvesting to ensure high-quality results. We carry out young forest management around the year, as weather conditions permit. The management of a young forest where trees have not grown sturdy calls for solid expertise, which is why we entrust young forest management to our professional forest workers and harvester operators.
After young forest management, the forest will grow 1,600–2,200 high-quality logs per hectare. The next forestry measure is first thinning, which is carried out 5–10 years after young forest management.
It is possible to apply for government-funded subsidies for young forest management. If required, our forest specialists handle advance notifications and submit the subsidy application to the authorities.
If you are an owner member of Metsä Group, you can use bonuses from wood sales and forest management services to pay for young forest management. Forest management services also earns you an extra bonus.
