Our flying squirrel Mina, equipped with a transmitter, did not fare so badly. Her nest tree did break at 10 meters, but luckily the nest hollow is in the remaining stump and Miina can still use it for some time. But in time she too will have to find a new nesting place. It will not be altogether easy because there are few suitable tree hollows left in the intensely production-oriented forests, and there may be a long way to go to the next suitable living place. And in between there are obstacles that have to be crossed somehow, like clear-felled and rejuvenation areas.
