Modern forest management for healthy, resilient forests.
With modern systems, we make your forest climate-stable and economically profitable.
Forest management in a nutshell
Our all-round service ensures the health and yield of your forest. With regular inspections and state-of-the-art technology, we detect pests early and protect your forest. We promote optimal growth of your trees through mechanical maintenance services such as high pruning and mixed stand regulation. Whether you are a forest owner, landowner or a forest authority, our service will ensure that your forest remains healthy, productive and low maintenance over the long term. This allows you to maximise the yield from your forest, while keeping it healthy and resilient to climate change - without any extra effort on your part.
Why use FINGERHUT?
Precaution
At least twice a year, we carefully check your forest areas using, for example, specially trained detection dogs to detect pest infestations at an early stage. Thanks to our close network with federal forests and many forest owners, we always have an eye on where pests are currently occurring and whether your forest may be endangered. This allows us to intervene early and take action before it is too late.
Revenue increase
We make sure your forest has the optimum conditions for healthy growth. We use fully automated systems to remove wild growth and weeds so that your trees can thrive undisturbed. Our trained staff carry out high pruning and mixed stand regulation to improve the structure of the forest and ensure a sustainable increase in yield.
All-round service
We take care of all the tasks that forest owners face - without you having to go into the forest. Clear communication means you always know what is happening, while we keep your forest healthy and productive.
Project flow
Area Inspection
If the area has already been planted, we will inspect the forest and discuss long-term goals with you.
Analysis
Our team carries out a detailed analysis of the forest area to determine the condition of the forest and the maintenance required.
Regular checks
We inspect the area at least twice a year. If necessary, action is taken immediately to ensure the health and stability of the forest.
Maintenance
For the first ten years after planting, the forest requires targeted care to ensure optimum growth. After that, the amount of care required is reduced and the forest becomes increasingly stable.
Transition to timber harvesting
Once the trees are ready to be harvested, the maintenance is complete. Of course, you can also hire us to harvest the trees and then replant the site.
Your forest deserves the best care.
Common questions about forest management
What happens if I don't look after my forest?
Without regular maintenance, the forest becomes susceptible to disease, pests and uncontrolled growth. This affects the health of the trees and reduces the yield in the long term.
In which countries do you offer forest management services?
Yes, we look after existing forests, regardless of who planted them.
Do you offer forest management services throughout Germany?
Our forest management services are available throughout Germany. On request, we can also take on projects in Austria or other European countries.
What is high pruning and mixed stand regulation?
High pruning promotes wood quality by removing branches to produce knot-free wood. Mixed stand regulation ensures a balanced tree composition to keep the forest healthy and growing optimally.
