Meanwhile, Södra is coordinating forces to deal with timber in the aftermath of Storm Egon.
"It is crucial that we now quickly come to grips with the volume of storm-felled forest so that we are able to plan the work and process the windblown trees before forest protection problems arise. We therefore urge all forest owners to speedily take an inventory of their properties and contact their forestry operations area to sign a contract," says Håkan Larsson, President of the Södra Skog business area.
