Pinoamisen

Pinoamisen is a Finnish term that broadly refers to the act of logging or timber harvesting. It encompasses the entire process of felling trees, preparing them for transport, and moving them from the forest to processing facilities or markets. This can include various methods of logging, from traditional manual felling with axes and saws to modern mechanized operations using harvesters and forwarders.

The practice of pinoamisen is deeply intertwined with Finland's forest-based economy and its rich history of forestry. It is a significant economic activity that supports employment in rural areas and contributes to the country's exports. Responsible pinoamisen practices are crucial for sustainable forest management, ensuring that harvested areas are replanted or naturally regenerated to maintain forest health and biodiversity for future generations.

The types of trees harvested through pinoamisen in Finland are primarily coniferous species such as pine (mänty) and spruce (kuusi), as well as deciduous trees like birch (koivu). The wood obtained is used for a wide range of purposes, including the production of paper, pulp, lumber, furniture, and bioenergy. Regulations and guidelines govern pinoamisen activities to minimize environmental impact, protect natural resources, and ensure worker safety.
