Questions
When you plan to fell 0.5 hectares or more of productive forest land, other than cleaning or thinning that helps the forest develop. The notice also covers protective ditching after felling, how you will secure regrowth and how you will care for nature and cultural heritage.
Six weeks from the day Skogsstyrelsen receives the notice, unless it agrees to an earlier start. The notice is valid for five years from that day; after that you file a new one.
You don't notify it under the Forestry Act. It may still need a consultation notice (samråd) under the Environmental Code if it could significantly change the natural environment, filed at least six weeks ahead. Broadleaf (ädellöv) forest needs Skogsstyrelsen's permit even below 0.5 hectares.
