An article in DN claims that the spruce bark borer is a pest that has thrived due to forestry practices. The main culprits are said to be the Swedish Forestry Agency and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
Over the years, the state bureaucracy has pursued a mindless depletion of the forests since they started regulating forestry with the 1979 Forest Protection Act, and by introducing a regulated moose hunt. The Norwegian Forestry Agency was responsible for pushing the felling of old plantation forests, the digging up of wetlands, and the felling of older deciduous forests and spruce plantations.
The Environmental Protection Agency and county administrations have quadrupled the moose population, which led to grazing feed reserves, damaging pine, and broadleaf plantations. Forest owners in southern and central Sweden can no longer rejuvenate with pine and broadleaf.
It is regrettable that even after years of writing about the forest, DN has yet to scrutinize the state’s management of forests and hunting, which created problems that will persist for decades.
Forestry is one of the most heavily politically controlled industries after agriculture, and the outcome is demoralizing. Hopefully, the bourgeois government will dismantle the state bureaucracy’s destruction of the forest with proper deregulation.

An article in DN describes it as that it is forestry that has created a bed for the insect the spruce bark borer. But it is above all the Swedish Forestry Agency and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency that are behind the spread of this pest.
Since the state began to control forestry with the 1979 Forest Protection Act and the introduction of a regulated moose hunt, the state bureaucracy has pursued a mindless depletion of the forest. It started with the Norwegian Forestry Agency pushing through the felling of the old plantation forest, the digging up of wetlands, the felling of older deciduous forest and spruce plantations everywhere.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the county administrations followed up by quadrupling the moose population, which grazed feed reserves and damaged pine and broadleaf plantations so badly that the forest owners in southern and central Sweden could no longer rejuvenate with pine and broadleaf.
It is deplorable that after a couple of years of writing about the forest, DN still has not analyzed the state’s management of forests and hunting and how it forced the branching that will be a problem for decades to come.
Forestry is the industry that has been the most heavily politically controlled after agriculture. The result is discouraging. Let’s hope that the bourgeois government now dismantles the state bureaucracy’s destruction of the forest with proper deregulation.
