insight into the historical wood harvested

The wooden harvest has a long tradition in Central Europe. With the settlement, people began to use wood for tools, buildings and as fuel. As ForestBook.info, the forest flow was necessary at the time to create new fields. In the 19th century, Europe was still heavily forested, even simple tools like the stone ax were the main remedies to the wooden harvest for a long time. A high wood requirement for construction and households influenced the development of forestry.

traditional wood harvest was anything but safe. Many wooden servants had no personal protective equipment, and the work was extremely exhausting and dangerous. Technology has developed over the years. After the Second World War, chainsaws were also used, which was progress, but also brought health risks.

from tradition to modernity

The development of modern wood harvest methods has greatly increased security in forestry. New technologies such as winches and cable cranes enable a gentle back of wood, which spares nature. As the 1977 numbers show, there were around 5,167 accidents at 11 million harvested meters. In comparison, in 2013 it was only 1,368 accidents at 17.4 million harvesting meters. This shows how important sustainability and security are in today's forestry.

After the educational day, the children were allowed to strengthen themselves with cheeky bread, ribisel cake and Styrian apples while snapping together in the old box. Such events are not only an ODE to nature, but also a wonderful opportunity for the youngest to learn about the importance of the forests and the work of the wooden servants.
