Lübeck: Another Way of Logging

Learn what the City of Lübeck, Germany has done with a 5,000 hectare forest!

Before 1994, this forest would have been logged in the conventional method of using heavy machinery followed by replanting. But since 1994, Lübeck’s chief forester proposed a change in the way it was managed, using a new approach called “close to nature”, which was developed in cooperation with scientists and nature conservationists.

Ekoskog

Ekoskog is a non-profit organization in Sweden, encouraging everyone from government to private landowners to pursue ecologically-beneficial forestry; their own version of ecoforestry.

“Ekoskog is… supporting and developing ecologically sustainable forestry and in order to do so, creating a certification of clear-cut free, continuous cover forestry and labelling of products from these certified forests. The interest in new, more gentle forestry methods and forestry without clear cuts is increasing, both from landowners, service producers in the tourism industry, authorities and consumers. A labelling system for products from ecological forestry gives consumers the opportunity to make a more sustainable choice, and landowners and producers will thereby strengthen the economic value of their products.”
