Abstract 
This atlas is a collection of maps with a short description of the current situation of the forest sector in 
Northwest Russia including regions of Karelia, Komi, Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Leningrad, Pskov, 
Novgorod, and Murmansk. The cartographic information is grouped in the following way: forest 
resources, silviculture, wood harvesting, production and the most important producers of wood-based 
products (sawnwood, plywood, wood-based panels, pulp, paper, paperboard), utilization of birch and 
aspen, as well as producers of forest-related machinery, wood pellets, and brickets. This review serves 
the information needs of different stakeholders and those interested in the forest sector in Russia.

 Preface 
  
 The project “Wood harvesting and logistics in Russia – Focus on research and business 
opportunities” studies the current state and the future development of wood procurement in 
Northwest Russia. As a result of mapping the starting point of the project, this publication 
presents basic information about the current state of the forest sector in Northwest Russia in 
compact and visualised form – all at one glance. 
 
All maps are available for use and can be downloaded from the internet service for Russian 
forestry: www.idanmetsatieto.info (Kuvapankki /Kartat).

 1  Introduction 
 
Northwest Russia, including the regions of Karelia (Respublika Kareliya), Komi (Respublika 
Komi), Arkhangelsk (Arkhangelskaya oblast), Vologda (Vologodskaya oblast), Leningrad 
(Leningradskaya oblast), Novgorod (Novgorodskaya oblast), and Pskov (Pskovskaya oblast), 
plays a key role in the Russian forest sector and has been well developed in comparison with the 
rest of Russia. In 2008, the region produced 36% of the total industrial roundwood of Russia, 
53% of its pulp, paper, and cardboard, 36% of its plywood, and 28% of its sawnwood (Rosstat 
2009). In contrast, Northwest Russia has only 10% of the forest land and 12% of the growing 
stock of the whole of Russia. Nevertheless, the forest resources of the region have supplied not 
only the domestic forest industry but also the industrial roundwood export market. In fact, 
Northwest Russia has been the most important industrial roundwood supplier to Europe, 
particularly for the Nordic countries. Finland has traditionally been one of the key importers of 
Russian roundwood originating mostly from Northwest Russia. Roundwood exports from 
Russia to Finland have been increasing steadily during the past 10–15 years. Recent 
development in Russia suggests, however, that export of roundwood is not going to increase any 
more, and on the contrary is expected to decrease. This is due to increasing export duties on 
roundwood. The aim of the Russian authorities is to decrease the export of industrial 
roundwood and increase wood processing in Russia. In addition, Russia has renewed forest 
legislation aiming at clarification of responsibilities and rights between the state (forest owner) 
and private business (forest user), and also between the federation and the regions (Lesnoy 
kodeks 2006). 
 
This review aims to give a comprehensive picture of the situation of the forest sector in 
Northwest Russia, but in a very compact form presenting information mainly on maps. This 
review serves the information needs of different stakeholders and those interested in the forest 
sector in Russia.

 2 Forest resources and their uses 
 
 
In Russia, forest land area covers 838 million hectares and the volume of the growing stock is 
76 billion cubic metres, of which 26% is located in the European part of Russia. Almost half of 
the forests of the European part are in the territory of Northwest Russia (Table 2.1). The forest 
fund (lesnoy fond) is owned by the Russian Federation and covers 95% of the forest area. 
Forests outside the forest fund are located in military areas, cities, and villages and can be 
owned by the state, communities, companies, or private individuals. The forest fund is divided 
into exploitable forests, protective forests, and reserve forests (Rosleshoz 2009). Exploitable 
forests are meant for wood harvesting, protective forests are conservation and recreation areas 
where clear cutting is prohibited, and reserve forests are remote areas located mostly in roadless 
territories, where wood harvesting is not intended within the next 20 years (Lesnoy kodeks 
2006).

The distribution of forest resources by area, tree species, development class, volume of growing 
stock, and increment in Northwest Russian regions is presented on Maps 5.1–5.5. 
 
Decision making in forest administration is delegated to the subjects (regions) of the Russian 
Federation. Each region has an authorized forest service (department, committee, or ministry) 
responsible for the allocation of forest use rights. A list of the regional forest services in 
Northwest Russia is presented in Table 2.2.

  The mean increment (obschiy sredny prirost) is calculated by adding the average annual growth (sredny prirost) 
according to the age-classes. Sredny prirost = volume of the stand/age of the stand (Rosleshoz 1997).

Utilization of forest resources (allowable and actual cut, leased forests, road infrastructure) in 
the Northwest Russian regions is presented on Maps 5.6–5.9. The biggest logging companies 
are shown on Map 5.11 and in Appendix 1. 
 
Companies and private individuals can access forest use rights for a certain period of time. For 
wood harvesting, forests can be leased for 10–49 years. Furthermore, rights for short-term use 
can be obtained for less than one year in some cases. In addition to wood harvesting, usage 
rights are given for collecting non-wood forest products or hunting. The right to use the forests 
can be obtained only through auctions. In Northwest Russia, 45% of the forest land is leased, 
the highest share being in the Leningrad region (Map 5.7, Roslesinforg 2008b). 
 
Allowable annual cut for the whole Russian Federation is 635 million cubic metres, of which 
only one third is utilized (Fig. 2.1). In Northwest Russia the allowable cut of final fellings1 is 
about 94 million cubic metres and the degree of utilization is 40% (Roslesinforg 2008a). The 
ratio is the highest in the Leningrad region and Karelia (Fig. 2.2, Map 5.6). Until 2007, wood 
harvesting was at a quite stable level and harvesting volumes were increasing slightly, 
regardless of the numerous problems that harvesting companies had been facing. The low 
quality of forest stands, inadequate infrastructure, increasing production costs, and low 
productivity, among other things, have led to unprofitable wood harvesting businesses in 
Russia. In 2008, the situation became even worse when the world economic crisis led to a 
decreased demand for roundwood at the end of the year. In addition, within recent years 
exceptionally warm winters have caused serious problems for wood harvesting. In export-
 oriented regions, raised customs duties on wood exports have weakened the economic situation 
of harvesting companies further. Harvesting companies are forced to cut costs and reduce 
staffing levels, and the most unprofitable companies have already been closed (Lesprom 2009).

 3 Silviculture  
 
Clear-felling has traditionally been the main method of final felling and it comprises about three 
fourths of total timber removals (Roslesinforg 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008b). In 1993–1998, the 
total forest-regeneration area was larger than the total clear-felling area. In 1999–2006, 
however, almost every fifth hectare of clear-felling was left without active forest regeneration 
measures (Fig. 3.1.). In 1993–2006, on average, only every fourth hectare was artificially 
regenerated, as in the large northern regions (Komi, Arkhangelsk, Karelia, Vologda) the 
dominant forest regeneration method was assisted natural regeneration. Forest regeneration in 
Northwest Russian regions is presented on Map 5.10.

Thinnings of middle-aged and maturing stands are not common (Fig. 3.2.). The proportion of 
thinnings out of total timber removals has been only 5%. The reasons for the small share of 
thinning have been, among others, concentration on more productive final fellings, 
inappropriate wood harvesting technology for thinnings, an undeveloped forest-road network, 
and lack of demand for pulpwood in many regions. The importance and benefits of thinnings 
are, however, largely recognized, and it is expected that their amount will grow at least in the 
leased forest areas when forest management is intensified.

   Includes assisted natural and artificial regeneration. Assisted natural regeneration means natural regeneration of 
 forest or other wooded land with deliberate human intervention aimed at enhancing the ability of desired species to 
 regenerate. 
2
   Artificial regeneration includes planting and seeding. Planting is mainly used, and the share of seeding was 12% in 
2008.

 4 Forest industry  
 
During the last ten years the forest industry has been developing steadily in Russia as well as in 
Northwest Russia. Particle board production has grown strongly, having tripled. Other branches 
of forest industry have doubled their production, excluding the sawmill industry, whose growth 
has been more modest. The Russian forest industry is export oriented, as the majority of the 
produced sawnwood, half of the plywood, and one third of the pulp, paper, and paperboard are 
exported. The global economic crisis also hit the Russian forest sector at the end of 2008, when 
production amounts started to decrease (Fig. 4.1).

 According to the Russian Statistics Service, production of forest products decreased 
considerably during the first half of 2009 compared to the previous year. Decreases in 
production were 19% for sawnwood, 32% for plywood, 39% for fibreboard, 31% for particle 
board, 9% for paper, and 14% for paperboard (Rosstat 2009a). 
 
The most important producers of forest products (sawnwood, plywood, wood-based boards, 
pulp, paper, paperboard), production and consumption of birch and aspen, and producers of 
forest-related machinery, wood pellets, and brickets in Northwest Russia are presented on Maps 
5.12–5.21 and in Appendix 1. 
 
The wood-products industry forms 4% of the total industrial production in Northwest Russia 
and the pulp and paper industry, 8%, and these shares are the highest in comparison with the 
other federal districts of Russia (Rosstat 2008a). For the Arkhangelsk region and Karelia, the 
forest industry’s share of total production is over 50% (Table 4.1). In Northwest Russia, the 
Arkhangelsk region is the most important producer of sawnwood, pulp, and paperboard. Karelia 
leads in paper production, Komi in plywood and in fibreboard, and Novgorod in particle board 
production. Maps of production amounts in Northwest Russian regions are presented in Chapter 5.

The status of the forest industry has been at the centre of political discussions in the recent years 
in Russia (Strategiya razvitiya… 2008). The forest industry is rather undeveloped given the 
vastness of the resources, the degree of processing is low, production facilities are outdated, and 
only minor investments have been made. The aim, set at the highest governmental level, for 
Russia to change from a roundwood exporter into a producer of high value-added products. 
However, the political measures, such as privileges for investors and regulation of customs 
duties, have not yet brought visible result. Despite the changes in the operational conditions, 
there are still many factors in the business environment impeding investment decisions: 
inadequate infrastructure, unstable institutional environment, and political risk, to mention but a 
few (Karjalainen, T. et al. 2007).
