Bark beetles destroys 7 million cubic metres of wood in Sweden, in 2020

Posted on January 6, 2021   |  

• More than 1.4 million of cubic metres of spruce forest is bark beetle impacted in Södra.
• The most serious damage is concentrated to the eastern half of Götaland, from Blekinge up to the border with Sörmland, and to the area between Lakes Vänern and Vättern.
• The volumes of damaged forest are increasing because the trees attacked in early August 2020 were difficult to identify then, and are getting identified now.
