Logging and wood chips

Which logging method is best for my stand? What products can be produced, and what is the current market situation? Should I produce timber or wood chips? Get professional help from Dalgas to maximise the yield from your logging. Your local forester ensures that logging is done professionally and responsibly with the forest’s purpose in mind.

Logging methods – what should you choose?

Planning and effective solutions are key to ensuring responsible logging of timber and resale to industries. Whether it is the first thinning or the final felling of the mature stand, the choice of method, product layout, and secure sale of the products are crucial for both forest management and overall economy.

We always have the right method and machine for each task. This ensures the best layout of timber products and thus the best overall economy for the task. Our machine operators are trained to handle the timber correctly while protecting the forest’s nature and historical sites. With digital maps for all tasks, they can always see their position and necessary information about the task, key biotopes, historical sites, and other relevant information.

Our network strengthens your sales

When you sell your timber products and wood chips through Dalgas, your products become part of the large pool we sell annually to Danish and international timber industries and timber-consuming customers.

This way, you get the best prices for your products without having to constantly monitor the timber market and negotiate with numerous buyers. We handle that for you, and we take on the full debtor risk, so you do not have to worry about payment. It is always secure when you trade with us.

Experiences from previous investor field trips to the Baltics

Dalgas has been managing forests in the Baltics since 1998. For a quarter of a century, the company has managed forests for several Danish and international investors from three offices in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

The investment adviser has invested in forest

For the past 30 years, Gustav D. Lassen has advised both private individuals and financial institutions on investing in stocks. In his own portfolio, in addition to stocks, other asset classes are included, with Baltic forest being an important element.

HessenForst has streamlined and certified its round timber measuring using LogStackPro

A potential wait of several days has been reduced to a few seconds' efficient computer calculations at HessenForst, the forestry department in the German federal republic of Hessen.

Wood chip production and secure sales of wood chip

Wood chip production is a natural part of forest management. By making wood chips from thinned trees, you can sell the chips to heating plants while ensuring growth for the valuable trees used for construction and furniture. 

Through our extensive network of buyers, we can always offer the best solution – both economically and in terms of forest cultivation.

SBP: Documentation requirements

The Sustainable Biomass Program (SBP), also known as a “chain of custody certification,” requires documentation for the responsible production of wood chips used at heating plants. SBP focuses on avoiding illegal labour, preserving nature, and protecting biodiversity.

An SBP certification provides you as a forest owner with security and easier market access. Contact us for a non-binding discussion on how we can ensure documentation and compliance with the SBP standard for your wood chip and logging tasks.

We can help you with the entire task and guarantee that…
  • the chosen solution is the most advantageous for both forest cultivation and economy on the area
  • the machines, both for logging and extraction, are suitable for the specific stand and soil
  • the task is performed at the agreed time and price
  • the chosen subcontractor delivers the agreed quality
  • you get documentation and measurement of all your timber through our unique digital photo measurement
  • payment for the products is secured, as we take on the entire debtor risk – so you do not have to worry about the payment ability and willingness of the purchasing industries
  • compliance with applicable laws and certification rules is ensured 

Wood ash – recycle the forest’s nutrients

Wood ash is ash from your chipped trees used as biofuel at the heating plant. By using wood ash as fertiliser, you can return up to 90% of the nutrients to the forest and improve tree growth.

As a forest owner, you can help complete the cycle and maintain your cultivation base through the Dalgas Wood Ash Concept. 

With a fixed agreement, you are covered by our Forest Owner Benefits Program, where we ensure efficiency and low costs for you.

Your local forester can help clarify your needs and inform you about the solutions we can offer. Contact us today to learn more.
