Department (Forestry)
A department in forestry refers to a forest area unit that is used for planning and controlling silvicultural activities and for orientation. The size is usually 10 to 30 hectares . Paths , aisles , ditches or ridges are usually used to delimit the departments . In larger forest operations, the corner points of the departments are often marked by department stones.
Depending on the region, departments are also referred to as district , strike or hunting . Districts are usually numbered consecutively with Roman numerals , departments or hunts with Arabic numerals .
Departments can be subdivided into subdivisions of around 3 to 20 hectares in size and these in turn into sub-areas, if the stock shows large differences in small areas.
The marker stones are in the corners of the individual areas, i.e. where four hunts usually meet. The Jagenstein in the example image is photographed in a view from Jagen 135, Jagen 136 and Jagen 152 immediately follow.
