In may 2015, together with Slovenian forestry institute and Slovenian forest service, we organized a two day workshop with a focus on forest management in silvicultural measures after large scale disturbances. On the first day indoor and outdoor presentations on Rožnik hill were organized. German colleagues presented their experiences with windthrow restoration in private forests of Porurje region, Germany. The following day we visited Sevnica region, where local foresters of Slovenian forest service presented the practical examples.

COBISS.SI-ID: 279506176Traditional practice of forest tending is becoming more and more economically demanding. On the other hand we can reach sufficient effects of tending via focusing on smaller number of crop trees. firstly, we can prologue the periods of indirect tending of young trees under the forest canopy. When this is not possible and direct tending needs to be applied we focus on smaller number of high quality crop trees (preferably broadleaves) with removing the surrounding competitor trees.

COBISS.SI-ID: 4241062Increasing cost of labor in the last 20 year caused significant lower realization of forest tending in Slovenia. To inform and stimulate the forest owners for tending we presented options on how to rationalize the amount of work in forest tending, while still achieving sufficient results.
