Sage area
A wise man's area , also known as a wise man's fence, control fence or wise man's gate, is an area that is fenced off game-proof and used in forestry and forestry , which, by comparison with the non-fenced area outside, allows an assessment of the influence of game (in Central Europe mainly deer , partly. but also red deer , fallow deer and sika deer as well as chamois and mouflon ) allowed for the natural regeneration of the forest . The indirect display of the local game density is used to adapt the hunt accordingly.
Because of the immediately apparent differences between the comparison areas, wise areas are an extremely clear means of illustrating the influence of wild animals on forest vegetation even to an audience without in-depth forest knowledge.
They are usually around 6 × 6 to 15 × 15 meters in size. In addition to the influence of the game population, the areas also show the growth potential of the soil for forest formation through vegetative propagation and flown or planted seeds. After all, they are to be distinguished from larger game protection fences , which are used for forest maintenance by preventing damage from game and allowing a plantation to grow or natural regeneration.
