Selection cutting (poimintahakkuu)

Selection cutting means a cutting to remove only the largest trees from the forest. Selection cuttings were carried out in Finland in the first decades of the 20th century, but they were forbidden in the Forest Act of 1927, because it is feared that selection cutting weakens the genetic stock of trees. They are again allowed in the Forest Act since 2014.
