A Tribute to 100-year-old Finland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The planting of the Generations Forest is an event of the Finland 100 program. Planting the forest aims to emphasize the importance of forests for Finland, Finnishness, and the well-being of Finns, as well as to highlight the significance of intergenerational interaction and knowledge sharing in the development of independent Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Planting a forest offers participants a personal experience of participation in the chain of history and generations, as well as in the transfer of knowledge and tradition,\" says the project coordinator from the .<\/span><\/strong> University of Eastern Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe planting event is part of the Saimaan Mets\u00e4nhoitajat's project \"Cultural Forest Resources from Generation to Generation,\" funded by the Finnish Cultural Foundation's South Savo Fund. The project partners include Mets\u00e4hallitus, Finnish Forest Museum Lusto, University of Eastern Finland's Savonlinna Teacher Education, and Luke's Punkaharju office. The project examines forest culture in the Saimaa region from the perspectives of forestry science, education, and historical research.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
