Most of the logging was not planned but a necessary measure following the damages caused by bark beetles and droughts. The percentage of damaged wood rocketed to over 90%. According to CZSO data, logging amounted to 16.3 million sm³ in the years from 2008 to 2017. Last year, 60% more wood than usual was logged in the Czech Republic.
