Felling affirmation
To sell a felling site and begin felling trees in a forest, you need a tree felling permit, which you can receive by applying through the State Forest Service. The permit is issued within one month of the application being registered with the State Forest Service. The permit is a document issued by the State Forest Service which confirms the legality of the specific planned work and is viewed as permission to complete this action (felling trees).
Felling site pruning
Felling site pruning or preparing a sketch, is a package of jobs which includes visiting the felling site, cutting out a boundary line (marking out the area to be felled on site) and compiling a sketch. The sketch is submitted along with the application to fell trees to the State Forest Service. If necessary, e-Silva offers this service throughout Latvia. The service takes between two and 15 days to complete.
Felling site dasting
Felling site dasting, or assessing the felling site (calculating the volume of timber by species) is necessary for calculating the starting price of a felling site auction, and to enable us to describe the lot to auction participants with greater precision. During this process, the diameter 1.3 meters above the root crown of every tree to be felled is measured, as well as the exact heights of these trees. The measurements are processed using a specific programme to find out the volume of timber to be obtained in cubic meters. E-Silva can provide this service with full neutrality. The service takes between two and 15 days to complete.
