In general, this document is called the felling assessment. It is a process where the diameter of each tree at a height of 1.3 m from the "root collar" is physically measured in nature. Each species are registered separately. By inserting this information into a computer program, calculations are performed and an accurate collection by species is obtained. Dosage varies by operator and may include different information, such as average diameter, average wood volume, distribution by material diameter, and so on. There is no specific person who can prepare this document, as it is only necessary for the forest owner to know the exact amount of the stock to be felled and to be able to receive adequate offers. It is not recommended to entrust this process to someone who is planning to buy this felling area from you!
