The natural way to move timber

We manage, harvest and replant working forests across Central Europe — and put back more than we take out. Every log we ship is traceable to the stand it grew in.

01 About SILVA

Moving goods forward,
without leaving
nature behind.

Three generations of foresters, one rule that has not changed: cut less than the forest grows. We plan every stand on a forty-year horizon, so the people who inherit these hills inherit more than we did.

02 What we do

From standing tree
to loaded truck.

Five services that cover the whole cycle — surveyed, felled, sawn, hauled and replanted by the same team, so nothing gets lost between contractors.

01

Forest management

Inventory, growth modelling and forty-year felling plans for private and municipal woodland. You get a stand-by-stand map and a schedule you can actually budget against.

  • Stand inventory
  • Growth modelling
  • Felling plans
  • Thinning

02

Harvesting

Low-impact mechanised felling with harvester and forwarder crews trained on soil protection. Extraction routes are planned before a single tree comes down.

  • Harvester crews
  • Cable extraction
  • Soil protection
  • Storm salvage

03

Timber & sawn goods

Round wood, construction timber, pallet stock and biomass — graded, measured and dispatched from our own yard with full chain-of-custody papers.

Reforestation

Every clearing is replanted within one season, with mixed native species chosen for the site — not the cheapest seedling on the market.

  • Native mixes
  • Site preparation
  • Browsing protection
  • 5-year care

Transport & logistics

Our own timber trucks and forest-road maintenance keep loads moving in every season, with GPS tracking from landing to mill gate.

  • Forest roads

R Field operations

The work between
two harvests.

A forest does not maintain itself. We plant, tend, protect and keep every access route open — with our own field crews and equipment.

One crew · one day

We arrive with a plan.
We leave when the result shows.

Every assignment starts with a walk-through and ends with a documented check of the completed ground.

03 Our forests

The ground we
look after.

Four regions, one standard. Each block is surveyed on foot every year — drones tell us where to look, foresters tell us what it means.

04 How it works

Four steps, one long horizon.

The same sequence on every hectare, whether it is four trees or four hundred — because shortcuts in year one show up in year thirty.

01

Survey & plan

We walk the stand, measure standing volume and agree what comes out — and what stays for the next rotation.

02

Harvest

Crews work to the marked plan with soil-safe machinery, extracting along routes fixed before the first cut.

03

Sort & deliver

Logs are graded at the landing, measured, and hauled to the mill or your yard with full documentation.

04

Replant & tend

The clearing is replanted within a season and tended for five years — protected, weeded, and checked annually.

05 Voices

What mills and
owners tell us.

We work with sawmills, municipalities and private woodland owners. Most of them have been with us longer than a single rotation of paperwork.

06 Common questions

Clear answers,
before the first cut.

Availability, certification, delivery and replanting — the questions buyers and woodland owners ask us most often.

We supply round wood, construction timber, pallet stock and biomass. Species, dimensions, moisture targets and grading can be matched to your production or project requirements.
Yes. Chain-of-custody documentation follows the load, and every shipment can be traced back to the managed stand it came from.
Lead time depends on assortment, volume and destination. Standard regional loads are usually scheduled within one to three weeks after confirmation.
Yes. We survey the stand, agree what should remain, prepare the felling plan, manage harvesting and provide transparent measurement and sales documentation.
Every clearing is replanted within one season using a site-appropriate mix of native species, then protected, weeded and checked during the following five years.
