Uutta Metlan Internet-sivuilla

Nytt på Metlas Internetsidor

In order to improve its services, the Finnish Forest Research Institute (Metla) has included Swedish pages in its website. The Swedish pages can be reached directly from Metla's homepage at http://www.metla.fi/.

The new Swedish pages include, e.g., descriptions of the research work, publications and services of Metla, the basic facts about the institute, its research forests and facilities, as well as contacts and other useful information.

Due to this extension there have also been some minor changes on the English and Finnish pages.
