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. In the first thinning the best trees are selected and left to grow, and space is made for them, while the rest are harvested.
