Harvested timber volumes fell by 6.2 percent, while the area on which were made regeneration works increased by 12.3 percent last year, the forest fund area increasing by 0.1 percent, according to data released on Wednesday by the National Statistics Institute (INS).

The forestry area on December 31, 2014, compared to the same date in 2013, registered an increase of approximately 0.1 percent. This increase is mainly due to various refurbishments of wooded pastures and to the introduction into the forest fund of the degraded and treeless land.
