International System for Strategic Wood Conservation

International System for Strategic Wood Conservation

DREVO Timber Reserve (DTR)— an international system for the long-term preservation of the most valuable timber in specially created natural and engineered storage facilities with the aim of forming a strategic reserve for future generations.

Unlike traditional forestry, where timber is seen as a resource for immediate processing,DREVO Timber Reserveconsiders it aslong-term natural capital, which can increase in value over decades and centuries.

“We grow forests not only for ourselves, but also for the people who will live in 100, 200, and 300 years.”

Mission

To create a world reserve of especially valuable timber that will simultaneously:

preserves the best specimens of wood species;

forms a strategic reserve of materials;

supports the restoration of wetlands and floodplains;

preserves the genetic diversity of forests;

creates a scientific basis for future generations.

Main objectives

Formation of a strategic timber reserve.

Production of high-value bog wood.

Preservation of rare tree species.

Creating a bank of unique trunks.

Development of scientific research.

Support for the restoration of architectural monuments.

Preservation of natural heritage.

Wood sources

The reserve includes timber obtained without special logging solely for storage purposes.

Main sources:

river clearing;

floodplain restoration;

sanitary felling;

windbreaks;

windfalls;

avalanches;

emergency trees;

construction of infrastructure;

restoration of riverbeds;

forest restoration.

Team criteria

Priority is given to trees:

large diameter;

straight-barreled;

slow growing;

old-age;

genetically valuable;

disease resistant;

survivors of extreme climate events.

Classification of wood

Heritage Wood

Particularly valuable wood for:

restoration;

museums;

historic buildings;

cultural heritage.

Architectural Wood

Material for:

bridges;

temples;

public buildings;

unique architecture.

Artistic Wood

Used for:

musical instruments;

furniture;

sculptures;

art products.

Scientific Reserve

Fund for:

research;

universities;

laboratories;

testing new technologies.

Genetic Reserve

Saved:

wood;

cores;

seeds;

DNA;

digital data about the origin of the tree.

Storage types

Natural swamps

Used:

raised bogs;

lowland swamps;

peat bogs.

Floodplain lakes

Used:

oxbow lakes;

closed river branches;

former riverbeds.

Artificial reservoirs

They are created specifically.

Equipped with:

water control system;

sensors;

security system;

automatic monitoring.

Storage conditions

Optimal conditions:

lack of light;

minimum oxygen content;

constant temperature;

stable water level;

absence of mechanical damage;

minimal fluctuations in the chemical composition of water.

Final storage model

Digital passport

Each barrel receives a unique identifier.

The following are recorded:

view;

origin;

coordinates;

age;

height;

diameter;

volume;

weight;

humidity;

date of procurement;

reason for the team;

storage location;

storage class;

photographs;

laboratory test results;

monitoring history.

Living Mountain Observatory

Controls:

water temperature;

water level;

oxygen content;

pH;

electrical conductivity;

wood condition;

stability of storage conditions.

Mountain Digital Twin

A digital twin is created for each tank.

It contains:

the location of each trunk;

storage history;

forecast of changes in properties;

research results;

planned extraction dates.

WOOD AI

Artificial intelligence analyzes:

change in the physical properties of wood;

influence of hydrochemistry;

influence of temperature;

forecast of material value;

optimal extraction times;

reserve rotation management.

Integration with the DREVO ecosystem

Scientific directions

Study of the processes of formation of bog wood.

Study of the influence of different types of wetlands and reservoirs.

Analysis of changes in strength, density and color of wood.

Long-term storage of various species.

Development of new technologies for wood preservation.

Study of natural mineralization processes.

Environmental principles

Do not drain natural wetlands to create reserves.

Use degraded swamps, old quarries, oxbow lakes and specially created reservoirs.

Do not disturb the natural hydrological regime.

Preserve some of the large timber in rivers as an important habitat element.

Each new storage facility must simultaneously increase the value of the timber and improve the health of the surrounding ecosystem.

Expected results

strategic world reserve of especially valuable timber;

preservation of unique wood resources;

development of an international scientific program;

support for the restoration of cultural monuments;

creation of natural storage facilities with a positive environmental effect;

preserving the timber heritage for future generations.

The main principle

The best wood isn't always the one that needs to be used today. Sometimes its true value is revealed decades or centuries later.

DREVO Timber Reservetransforms wood from a short-term raw material intolong-term strategic resource, combining river, wetland, and forest restoration and scientific management of natural capital into a single system designed for multigenerational use.
