Frame 23 – A

The clear-cut area is 7.6 hectares in size. On the small headland grew a Norway spruce-dominated coniferous forest, which emerged from the sea about 200-500 years ago due to the land uplift. The forest was felled all the way to the cottage plots found close to the sea. Three red-listed species had been found in the forest that grew here before the machines came.

Facts

FSC and PEFC are examples of certifications that aim to create an environmentally sound forestry. Read more about FSC and PEFC.

As you can see in the 3D-models, a clear-cut forest land might consist of several areas next to each other where the trees have ben felled at different times but, still, within a short period of time. Humans and the species who live there experience the clear-cut forest land as one area.
