I've not heard of the picking up dead wood part(might be really big wood that's laying about in some forests, that's obviously owned by the foresters I'd think) but yes, they do cut down trees and they are working to destroy the Rheinhards forest with a wind park.
Don't know where to get an english source, I tried to find anything but alas...anyways this is talking about it being approved. the really disgusting thing to me about all of this is that tons of nature protections organisations here in Germany approve of this because "muh climate change". This forest is an ancient forest that was also the forest the brothers grimm lived around and collected tons of stories for it. There is inititives to fight against this madness but don't think German courts are any better than courts elsewhere. They will force this for "muh climate change". The greens are also all for it, surely because there's some vested interests in wind energy but don't you dare say that.
Funny that, years ago the climate protesters were chaining themselves to trees to stop a forest from being cut down to make way for more coal mining...where are they now? Could it be that this is fine since it's the "correct" side doing it? I am almost 100% sure of that. Nature protection is not a thing when it's offering it to the climate god.
