Biodiversity services

Many forest owners want to protect a forest area that is valuable in terms of biodiversity or other aspects and do so on their own initiative. Protection can be for a fixed term or permanent. If you believe your forest is home to a valuable nature site, contact Metsä Group’s forest specialist to obtain further information about various ways to protect the area. Our local forest specialist helps owner-members to apply for environmental aid. The service is only available in Finland.

Request an offer on forest management

Request an offer on forest management from your local forest specialist. The forest specialist knows which forest management work needs to be carried out in your forest. Forest management includes for example the establishment of a new forest and young stand management. You can also request an offer in the Metsäverkko service.
