On the one hand, the forest plots that have been denied felling must be evaluated, and on the other hand, new applications will also be received for felling forests close to the mountains.
If a forest owner is denied felling, he is entitled to 125 percent of the market value in compensation from the state, according to a ruling last spring.
- If it is that the forest owners have been waiting for the verdict, or if it is that you see that you can get money, I do not know, says Helena Eriksson to SVT Nyheter Jämtland.
When applications for new fellings increase, the Swedish Forest Agency has also requested more money from the state to be able to pay compensation.
