Services

Forest management from start to finish

Forest management keeps a forest healthy and vigorous. An unmanaged mature forest loses value: overmature trees die from disease and pests, and a weakening forest is more vulnerable to storms.

  • Reforestation

    Advice, planning and work: site preparation, planting and tending of young stands.

  • Long-term forest land management

    We organise all silvicultural work and paperwork and are responsible for quality and supervision.

  • Forest management plans

    An overview of your forest's condition and value. Free of charge if you sell the property or cutting rights to us.

  • Help with forestry paperwork

    Forest notification, cutting rights transfer agreement and agreements with timber buyers and neighbours.

  • Planning and marking fellings

    Planning of thinning, regeneration and selective felling. Our forester marks the fellings together with the contractor.

  • Felling and supervision

    Fellings are done by reliable partners with compact machinery and supervised by a representative of Actively OÜ.

  • Roundwood procurement and sales

    Timber is stored by assortment at the roadside landing and delivered to buyers at a competitive price.

  • Wood chip procurement and sales

    Wood chips from brushwood, logging residue and stumps – environmentally friendly, together with our partners.

Frequently asked questions

Contact
Do you also buy mortgaged forest land?

Yes, Actively OÜ also buys forest land encumbered with a mortgage.

How is the value of a forest assessed?

We collect the initial data in the field and use the existing forest management plan. Based on the growing stock, the felling volume, the possible price of the assortments, the age structure and the growth of the forest, we calculate a price range at which it is reasonable to sell or buy the plot.

Does a forest management plan cost anything?

If you sell your forest property or cutting rights to Actively OÜ, the forest management plan is drawn up free of charge. We prepare plans together with our partners.

What documents are needed for felling?

A forest notification must be submitted and approved by the Environmental Board. The forest owner and the contractor then sign a written cutting rights transfer agreement. Agreements with timber buyers and neighbouring landowners are also needed. We help you get the paperwork in order.

What do you need from me for an offer?

The property name or cadastral number, its location (county, municipality), your price expectation if you have one, and your phone and email. Use the form below or write to info [at] actively.ee.

How long does it take for a forest to mature?

Depending on the main tree species, 30–130 years: birch is ready for felling at 60–70 years, spruce at 80–90 and pine at 90–120 years.
