Despite extensive use of wood, the annual growth of trees in Finland is still higher than consumption. Our forests act as carbon sinks and slow down climate change. During the Forest Visit you can learn more about the forest ecosystems.

Topics:

  • Forests and climate change
  • Carbon cycle and carbon sinks
  • Environmental and nature conservation and restoration
  • Forest health
  • Water protection
  • Wildfire and forest damage prevention

 

The concept development of the Forest Visit was funded by Metsämiesten Säätiö Foundation.
