All forest in cottage areas is considered protected forest under the Forestry Act, and tree felling must therefore be approved by Pihl in advance. For Sjusj\u00f8en, specific rules for tree felling have been established in collaboration with Sjusj\u00f8en Vel. <\/p>\n\n
To fell trees on a cottage plot located in areas other than Sjusj\u00f8en, you need permission from Pihl. This applies to both leasehold plots and freehold plots. The application form can be found at the bottom of the page. <\/p>\n\n
Cottage owners at Sjusj\u00f8en may remove spruce saplings\/trees lower than 3 meters (“smaller trees”) on their own plot and on their own initiative. Remember that trees should be cut as close to the ground as practically possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smaller trees \u2013 lower than 3 meters \u2013 may also be removed along the access road to the individual cottage, up to 3 meters from the roadside. Trees standing closer than 30 meters to another cottage cannot be removed without express approval from the affected cottage owner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When trees are removed, each cottage plot of 1 dekar (1,000 square meters) should at all times have at least the following remaining: For smaller plots, these numbers are applied proportionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Removal of trees higher than 3 meters (“larger trees”) may only take place after agreement with Pihl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The landowner may require coverage of costs if they are to remove larger trees at the request of the cottage owner. The cottage owner may freely use felled trees for firewood. Any assistance with removal of felled trees must be arranged and paid for separately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Requests for removal of trees standing outside\/between cottage plots should be directed to Pihl.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n Approval for tree felling must be applied for using the form. \n
