Forest development
A forest is developed ( forest development ) in order to make it accessible for the forest enterprise or for the population looking for recreation (e.g. hikers, cyclists or riders). Forest development includes all systems that enable the transport of people, material and equipment as well as forest products.
The basic development is now mainly through forest paths that are connected to public transport routes. An additional fine development enables the harvested wood to be transported to the forest paths. Here, play skidding paths and skidding and cable alleys important roles. When selecting the method, aspects of soil and conservation are compared with economic aspects.
The possibilities of forest development depend on the technical possibilities according to the state of the art. In earlier times, forest railways , watercourses (see rafting ), giants and wagons played important roles in the transport of long timber. At that time, firewood was transported by horse cart, handcart or box. Today, motorized teams are usually used, and in the case of great distances, barges are also used to transport wood.
