We combine forestry with biodiversity. Some areas are left untouched, but
in most cases biodiversity actually benefits more from us managing the forest in the right way than leaving it unmanaged.
Forestry creates prosperity, jobs and a confident future for Sweden, while also
bringing major benefits for local communities
