“Forestry always begins with knowledge,” asserts Jurģis Jansons, Doctor of Forest Sciences and director of the Latvian State Forest Research Institute “Silava”. “To simply fell a mature stand, turning it into cubic metres and money, does not require much science; skills are often enough. However, a great deal of time, intellect, effort, research, and experimentation is needed to grow new forest stands to be as valuable as possible.”
