Finland is the most forest-covered country in Europe and the #forestrelationship of Finns is unique. This video presents how this forest relationship is both preserved and changing in this modern age.
Most of the Finnish forests are owned by ordinary families and part of this #forestownership ethos is that #forest estates should be left to the next generation in a better condition than when you got it.
Forests are private property but at the same time they belong to all of us. #Everymansright, also known as “freedom to roam”, enables free wandering, as well as picking berries and mushrooms – often to the amazement of foreign guests.
With the help of its forests, Finland has gained a top place among the welfare states. The utilization of forests has always been creative work, in which new technologies and products have replaced old ones. Right now, we are living in the middle of a great change towards bioeconomy.

Forest Republic of Finland videos are based on the popular and rewarded “Suomi on metsäläinen” television series. These videos represent the unique forest relationship of Finns, and the meaning of forests to Finland and its people. The videos may be used for instance in the communications of forest companies. Forest Republic of Finland episodes are independent programs with the lengths of 26 and 8 minutes. Production of this program has been made possible by the funding from Metsämiesten Säätiö Foundation and Finnish Forest Foundation.
