Environment and nature conservation

Consideration for biodiversity

Sveaskog’s nature conservation objectives include exempting key biotopes and other forests with high conservation values. When felling, consideration for nature is shown by leaving sensitive biotopes, edge zones, tree groups and individual trees untouched.

20% nature conservation area

Sveaskog manages 20% of productive forest land below the montane forest region as nature conservation areas. Three nature conservation tools are used: ecoparks, conservation forests and consideration for nature which is left untouched in the production forests.

FSC in nature conservation efforts

At Sveaskog we comply with the Swedish forest management standard FSC®. FSC is a voluntary global system and the only forest certification that is widely supported by the environmental movement.
