The clear-cut area is 8 hectares in size. This Norway spruce-dominated forest grew on a gentle eastern slope. There were storm-felled trees in several places. In the lower parts of the slope the ground used to be moist and covered with old dead spruces. In these places the vulnerable fungi Phlebia centrifuga was found, a species of crust fungus in the family Meruliaceae. Also, the rare and nearly threatened Rhodofomes roseus was found in these places. After the felling, there were major ground damages from the heavy harvesting machines. The forest was logged by an FSC-certified forestry company.
