How does forest tree breeding affect forest growth? What kind of new products can be made from wood? What is the forest's role in the carbon cycle? And what kind of lessons for forest management can be gained from virtual forests?
Finland 100-anniversary forest
Growing stock volume and annual forest growth are much-discussed topics – is there enough wood, are harvesting levels sustainable, and what different factors influence tree growth? At the Finland 100 anniversary forest stand site, you can learn more about Finland’s forest resources and peek into the internal structures of wood.
Finland's tallest tree
Finland’s tallest tree, a 47.3-meter-tall European larch, grows in one of Punkaharju’s oldest forest plantations. This giant is over 140 years old. From this signpost, it is only 50 meters to the base of this large tree.
Natural products and renewable energy
Sap, resin, and cultivated specialty mushrooms are among our less-utilized natural products, yet they are sought-after raw materials worldwide. At the birch stand site, you can learn about the collection and utilization of these natural products.
Forest tree breeding and genetic resources
In forest improvement, the genetics of seeds and seedlings used in forestry are enhanced through plant breeding techniques. The goal is to increase tree growth and improve their quality — without forgetting climate and damage resilience.
Forests, water and well-being
Karjalankallio Huilaus is a 1.2-kilometer nature trail. Along the route, there are information boards describing the well-being effects of nature. The challenging accessible route can be navigated, for example, with a wheelchair and an assistant.
