The “Forestry report on the situation of forest regeneration” is prepared every three years. Foresters look at whether regrowing trees can thrive or are dead.
If many small trees are bitten by game, this is an indication that the game population is too high. The principle “forest before game’, which is controversial among many hunters, applies to the hunting law. The report is the basis for the shooting plan, which has to be drawn up every 3 years.
