AFFORESTATION
Planting - The foundation of a sustainable forest
Planting is one of the most important measures in forestry. It is the basis for creating a sustainable and productive forest that can provide both economic returns and environmental benefits. At Grimslövs Skogstjänst, we have extensive experience of afforestation and help you as a forest owner to lay a solid foundation for the forests of the future.

Why is afforestation important?
Reforestation ensures that the land remains productive, but planting not only helps to maintain the economic value of forestry, but also to sequester carbon, create biodiversity and protect the soil from erosion.
When should you plant?
The best time is in spring when the soil still has plenty of water. The plant can take advantage of the rising soil temperature to build up its root system to withstand any summer drought. The plant’s shoots should still be dormant, but the roots should have started to wake up. Want to know more about how the seasons affect planting? Click here for more information!
Why is it important to plant?
Productivity
With the right tree species and planting methods, forest growth is optimized. Manual planting is still more efficient and economically sustainable than mechanical planting.
Sustainability
growing forests sequester carbon dioxide. Trees and other plants take up carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air through photosynthesis, a process in which they convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose using sunlight.
Economy
If your planting and forest is well planned, it will give you as a forest owner a higher yield and long-term stability.
WHY US?
Sustainability
Planting is part of sustainable forest management that preserves natural resources for the future. It generates ecological diversity and provides great climate benefits as young and growing forests bind more carbon dioxide than old ones.

Grimslöv’s Forest Service offers services in forest planting, adapted to your needs and soil conditions. We use proven methods and carefully selected plants to ensure the best possible results.
