Old forests still sold for felling – the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation offers an alternative

The Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation, which promotes the protection of Finnish nature, is concerned about the slow progress of forest protection in Finland.

Home for the boreal owl found in Hausjärvi

The Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation’s A Home for the Boreal Owl fundraising campaign has been brought to a successful end, and the Foundation has protected the Boreal Owl’s Forest in Hausjärvi. The new, 16-hectare conservation area was found right on the border between the Uusimaa and Kanta-Häme regions. The forest has long been owned by the same family, and it has remained fairly untouched.
