Euroforest conducts all timber harvesting using state-of-the-art machinery, which is the safest, most cost-effective way to fell and extract timber to the roadside.
Definition & Purpose: Clearfelling is the complete removal of trees from a designated area, an essential practice in sustainable forestry. It ensures timber is harvested at peak value while preparing sites for replanting and regeneration. This approach also allows landowners to adjust species composition, supporting biodiversity and forest resilience.
Site Harvesting & Management: Every project begins with a detailed site plan to reduce environmental impact. On sensitive sites, especially near water, we create water management plans with buffer zones, crossing points, and contingency measures. Our operations are closely monitored for safety, compliance, and environmental protection, with regular site visits to balance timber recovery and sustainability.
Technology & Efficiency: We use advanced machinery and data-driven reporting to optimise harvesting. Real-time monitoring tracks progress against budgets, while site supervision ensures efficient extraction routes, reducing soil compaction, erosion, and fuel use. Landowners receive regular progress updates and mapped reports for full transparency.
Contractor & Compliance Standards: With a strong network of contractors, we match the right operators and machinery to each site. Euroforest works to international risk management standards and holds dual FSC® and PEFC Chain of Custody certification, giving clients assurance of sustainability, compliance, and traceability across the supply chain.
