The growth of the trees decreases when forests become denser. In order to safeguard the growth, too dense a forest needs to be thinned. Depending on the site and the tree species, two or three thinnings may be carried out before regeneration. The forest owner may gain substantial revenue from thinnings. The video shows this technique applied to Finnish forests.
