The economic benefits of continuous cover forestry can be summed up in a few basic principles, the skillful application of which is also central to the management of EverCover-certified forests. First, it is important to preserve undergrowth whenever possible and sensible. Through natural regeneration, the forest renews itself without the need for costly planting and young stand management measures. In general, interventions in the forest should only be made when there is a sound economic justification. Otherwise, it is better to let the forest take care of itself.

Continuous cover forestry is not small-scale tinkering. In selective fellings, about half of the stand is typically removed. When the majority of this is high-quality EverCover-certified sawlogs, the forest owner can expect a considerable income. The next harvest usually does not require waiting for several decades; depending on the fertility of the forest soil, it may be viable again within ten to fifteen years. Economic forest management, in any case, requires a long-term perspective. For example,  the increase of forest pests is a risk that continuous cover forestry and a higher share of broadleaf trees (one of the requirements of the EverCover Certificate) can reduce.

EverCover wood can, of course, be used for any purpose where there is demand for wood material. However, the high-quality sawlogs from continuous cover forestry are most likely to end up in products whose value quickly increases along the processing chain. Wooden buildings and fine furniture are just a few examples for which EverCover wood is ideally suited. The added value is also a guarantee of a long-lasting product, which makes it a climate-resilient solution as well.
