Forestry - Traditional clearing: logging to protect the forest
When forest floors or trees need to be protected, they come into action: Arne Brahmstedt and his horse Nemo. The horse transports three-metre-long tree trunks from the forest of Gut Knoop in Altenholz (Rendsburg-Eckernförde district) and places them on the dirt road for further transport.
"The working day lasts from nine to three o'clock," said Brahmstedt. At 12.00 noon there is a rest break for the horse, with water and concentrated feed for refreshment. But why are machines not used in the forest?
The resting forest at Knoop Estate is a burial forest, explained forester Sven Bielfeldt. This forest offers a complement to cemeteries and is an alternative to conventional forestry with timber sales for the forestry companies. In these places, where biodiversity is also high, it makes sense to fall back on traditional methods. Horses are therefore given the task of managing the forest.

Arne Brahmstedt and his horse Nemo work in the district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde, specifically at the Knoop Estate forest, known for its burial forest concept. This forest is an alternative to conventional forestry, focusing on biodiversity and protecting the forest floor, which is why they rely on traditional methods like using horses for management. The Knoop Estate forest, located in the Altenholz region of Schleswig-Holstein, requires the transportation of tree trunks, and horses are utilized for this task.
