Wooden harvest in Lüneburg: City forester warns of felled trees!

In autumn, the wooden harvest begins in Lüneburg, which is due to continue until the beginning of March 2024. This season, tree felling in Südergellersen, German-Evs and in the Tiergarten is particularly on the program. City forester Per-Ole Wittenburg explains that there will be both regular thinning in medium-sized holdings and the felling of individual trees for furniture wood. One focus is on the removal of vitality -weak spruces and pines in old stocks to make room for young deciduous trees. The conversion of the forests into robust mixing stocks is a great challenge of our time, says Wittenburg.

Back horses are used for the back work, supported by modern forest machines, which are equipped with special Bogie plastic tapes to ensure soil protection. Despite these measures, the temporarily muddy paths cannot be ruled out due to the work in the wet winter months. The city forestry office asks the citizens to observe the warning signs and closures in connection with the wood strike and avoid the risk area. Further details can can be read here .
