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 maximize 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’s 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 don’t have to worry about payment. It’s always secure when you trade with us.

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 labor, 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.

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 fertilizer, 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.
