Objectives

The aim of the project is to develop new services and products to forest owners living in the Helsinki region based on their values and needs. In the process the forested environment is considered as a resource of wood production, other material commodities, health and mental welfare. An efficient concept for the broader utilization of the forest resources by forest owners and for improving the vitality of organizations providing these services will be developed. The project is also developing products and services for full- and part-time inhabitants and tourists of the region. The attraction power of the region and the social sustainability of forestry will be improved, too.
