SITE DESCRIPTION

The area is dried peatlands, retired from peat production, in the municipality of Vaala. There is still residual peat in the area, causing carbon dioxide and methane emissions.

In addition to future plantings, there are some seedlings in the area that need measures to ensure optimal growth. The area will be ash-fertilized, creating stellar conditions for the growth of seedlings to be planted as well as existing ones. In addition, any vegetation interfering with the growth of the seedlings is removed.

MEASURES

All measures are taken with the expertise and experience of the regional forest management association which has the best knowledge of local forestry and area management. Work in the area is ordered from local entrepreneurs.

Ash fertilization has been applied to the area to achieve optimal nutrient balance.

Field ditches have been reconditioned to ensure a functioning water supply.

Seedlings are planted higher up in the area to ensure good growth.
