Saxon forest owners are once again benefiting from the sale of high-quality timber, but have recorded a drop in revenue compared to the previous year. According to the state enterprise Sachsenforst, an average of 508 euros per cubic meter was paid at the timber submission - a kind of auction - in the Dresden Heath. This is around 13 percent less than in the previous year, but almost 5 percent higher than the price in 2022.
A total of 500 so-called value timber logs were sold for 391,431 euros - almost 57,000 euros less than in the previous year. During the tender, interested parties submit written bids after inspecting the wood. The highest bidder is then awarded the respective log.
