Erzurum Forest Regional Manager Serkan Karakurt said that maintenance activities were carried out within the forest management plans in Palandöken to ensure the healthy growth of the trees and against the possibility of flames.
While giving information about the forest maintenance activities to be carried out in Palandöken, Erzurum Forest Regional Manager Serkan Karakurt said, "Forest maintenance activities are planned interventions to ensure the healthy growth of trees, to remove diseased individuals from the environment, to increase the resistance of the forest ecosystem and to ensure the continuity of the forest."
"Maintenance activities are carried out within the scope of forest management plans"
Karakurt explained that serious problems arise if the maintenance activities that the forests need are not carried out, and said, "Forests will face the danger of flames, forests will not be able to develop due to density and congestion, forests that cannot develop will be exposed to all kinds of diseases, irregularities will increase if the demands for forest products in the market cannot be met through legal means, forests will spontaneously disappear over time if rejuvenation activities are not carried out, and if the necessary maintenance of each area is not carried out in order to maintain the functions that the forests will offer to humanity, "For these reasons, maintenance activities are carried out within the scope of forest management plans in order to carry out the technical and economic services we have listed under the supervision and control of the technical staff of our forest management and regional directorate." - ERZURUM
