In the last century, firewood has become less and less important. The use of the stock has therefore been almost completely abandoned in recent decades.
In 1995, the Landscape Conservation Association of the Landkreis Göttingen e.V. campaigned for the preservation of the trees and leased the area on a long-term basis in order to protect it from the threatened conversion into a high beech forest. Together with the Realgemeinde of Gieboldehausen, the hornbeams are used again in the usual rotation for meter wood production for fuel purposes.
