Firms dried up by the printers are a safety risk – poor -conditioned trees are removed by logging in Lahti

In the winter, the recreational areas of Kerinkallio and Liipola have forest felling due to the damage caused by the printer’s beetles.

In Lahti, in the recreational areas of Liipola and Kerinkallio, dried and weakened firs are removed in the woods in the winter. The trees are removed near the plots, trails and trails.

There are many spruce firs dried up by a beetle in the area, which are a safety risk for travelers. In poor trees, there have been near misses lately.

Well maintained deciduous trees and pines and younger trees are preserved. Previously fallen paints will also be saved and, if necessary, moved off the paths.

Further away from trails and other routes, decaying trees are left up because they are useful for, for example, stitches and other birds.

The logging lasts for a few weeks, and now Halttunen hopes for wintering conditions. He says that not all dried trees are removed this winter.

– The felling is carried out on the forest side of the routes, so the tracks, for example, are almost normally available. In some places, the passage may have to be cut for a moment, says Katja Halttunen, a forest designer.

In the spring, there are additional plantations in the logging areas.
