According to data as of 1 January 2015, forests covered 33.4% of Lithuania's territory. Compared with 2003 statistics, forested area in Lithuania increased by slightly more than 2%.
Pine forests occupy the largest area in Lithuania – of the total forest area of 2,179.9 thousand ha, pine stands cover 718.6 thousand ha, and in recent years the area covered by these trees has kept growing. The area of the other conifer – spruce – has decreased by as much as 16 thousand ha over the past 12 years. Among broadleaves, birch stands make up the largest share, followed by black alder, grey alder and only then the oaks that symbolise our strength.
So the area of some tree species has grown over the past decade or so, while that of others has, conversely, decreased. This is influenced by felling, the speed of replanting, and the situation and protection of forests growing in different zones. The state of Lithuania's forests depends both on the state, which in some cases must take measures at the national level, and on private forest owners, who are responsible for the condition of the forest they own and may carry out the activities provided for by law in it.
Why is it worth selling your forest to us?
Being in the business of buying forest and producing new products, we understand that we are not the only company buying forest, so we try to attract new clients by offering favourable forest purchase terms.
- We buy forest at the best prices. Knowing that we are not the only company buying forest, we offer our clients favourable purchase prices, which are set taking into account the area of the forest being sold, the species and condition of the trees and other parameters on which the price of the forest depends.
- We buy standing timber for felling. One of our lines of business is harvesting, after which we offer a range of products to the market – so you can be sure that we buy forest not for resale but to run our own operations and produce new products.
