LČR is the most significant producer of sustainable raw material – timber in the Czech Republic. Annual harvest ranges around 8.5m m³. The goal of timber harvest is to increase stability, resilience, quality and bio diversity in young forests, i.e. so called tending felling, as well as early start of natural regeneration processes in forests by new more resistant forest stands of higher quality and with varied tree species next to old forests – so called regeneration felling. Another important harvest goal is the removal of sick, damaged and infested trees in order to prevent the spreading of pest and diseases to healthy trees. Any forest harvest has to be done in line with legal regulation and with the strategy of sustainable forest management.
