A red forest machine cuts down trees in a tall pine forest.
A forestry machine felled trees in the Kintulamm hiking and nature reserve this week. According to the city, the area is a pine forest about 65 years old, which is monotonous in terms of species and structure.

Next summer, a restoration burn at Kintulampi will aim to increase biodiversity.

This week the City of Tampere has been working on woodwork in the Kintulamm Camping and Nature Reserve.

Around three hectares of trees were felled, equivalent to more than four football pitches. The felled area can be seen on the way to the Church Stone lodge.
