The invention relates to a method for harvesting and to an arrangement forprocessingwood. In a harvesting area, a baler is used to bale small-dimensioned woodinto balesbelonging to different bale classes, wherein a compressed wood bundle is boundbymeans of a binding member. Energy bales and raw material bales may be createdin aforest. The raw material bales may be processed in a debarking device, whereinthewood contained by the bale is divided into a pulp fraction and an energyfraction. Thepulp fraction may be used in the manufacture of raw material, and the energyfractionmay be used as fuel.
