Corselitze Forest

Corselitze Forest (alternate, Corselitz; ) is located on the Danish island of Falster. Situated in the northeast of the island, it contains white pine plantations, although beech is the most common tree species.
History.
The forest, a manor house also named Corselitze, a summerhouse, an extensive garden, farmland, and additional surrounding forests were developed by Major general Johan Frederik Classen, a successful businessman who made his fortune running a number of companies in Frederiksværk in the north of Zealand. He had acquired the Corselitze estate from the Crown in 1768. When he died in 1792, he left all his possessions to a charitable foundation known as "Det Classenske Fideicommis" which continues to manage the forest today.

European spruce fills some 20% of the forest, sometimes mixed with Douglas-fir and grand fir. In recent years, felling has produced per year.
