A group of foresters and private forest owners gathered for a forestry field day at Silfrastaðir in Skagafjörður on Sunday, 8 February, to discuss and develop methods for managing pine forests. Careful assessment of the potential within each stand is essential. Where the goal is to produce high-quality timber, targeted tending is recommended just a few years after planting. In this way, maximum value can be achieved with moderate effort.
