HONORING FORESTS
Forest Stewardship
Protecting our forests (assets) with long-term management and exploitation plans and partnering with ecologically mindful forests across Europe.
Craft-Driven Selection
Selective felling & mindful exploitation.
Long-Term Responsibility
EUDR compliance rooted in genuine care, not just rules.
Horse skidding causes far less soil and tree damage than mechanical skidders, allows precise single-tree extraction in sensitive or difficult terrain, avoids roads, fuel, and emissions, and preserves long-term forest health—at the cost of speed and volume.
For Valbofor, wood is a living, infinite resource – if managed properly – that is shaped by time, soil, and careful cultivation. We collaborate with certified European forests, practicing ecologically mindful harvesting. We refrain from logging during bird nesting periods and periods of excess rain. We are mindful of forest soil and repair forest grounds after exploitation. We selectively cut timber respecting century old traditions such as felling trees during the waning moon to reduce sap content.
Clear cut is only considered when it is done out of protective measures while exceeding EUDR compliance. With long-term dedication, we protect the forest ecosystems that we own and secure renewable timber resources for the future.
