The upcoming work will primarily serve to promote the oak in the Seewald forest. This tree species occupies a prominent position in the district of Ludwigsburg. In addition, the oak is a beacon of hope in times of climate change, as it is robust against drought as well as other extreme weather events. However, due to its need for light and its relatively slow growth, the oak needs help from foresters so that it can escape competition from other tree species. In addition to the promotion of oaks, traffic safety measures around the forest playground and along the forest road are on the agenda, where drought damage and damage caused by fungal infestation must be repaired in some areas. The work will take place in several places in the Seewald forest over an area of 12 hectares in total. There are only a few forest roads available for the temporary storage of the resulting wood, which means that a large amount of wood will be temporarily lying along these roads. The forestry department asks for your understanding.
Due to the dangers associated with the timber harvesting measures, the foresters will have to temporarily close some paths. The forestry department of the district administration asks you to observe these closures and not to walk on the closed paths, as the closures are set up to protect visitors to the forest. The closures will be lifted as soon as possible, but only after the work has been completed. The forestry department assumes that the work can be completed within two and a half weeks, weather permitting. All paths that are not closed will of course remain open to forest visitors during the timber harvesting work.
