The love of the forest lives on

Yes, it is the love of the forest and the desire to protect all life that makes Naturarvet exist, and aims to acquire old-growth forest to preserve for all time. And it is your commitment and love for the forest that makes it possible in the first place. Thank you so much for all the contributions, cheers, gifts and support you gave to the possibility of acquiring "Jämtskogen".

Unfortunately, it didn't work out this time. "Jämtskogen" ended up in bidding and the price ended up being more than two million above the starting price. A sum we unfortunately could not match this time.

So now we are looking for another unprotected old-growth forest to acquire. To our delight, there is currently another forest with high natural values that is for sale, and that we want to take a closer look at. We will of course get back to you with more information as soon as we can.

And believe it or not...it's getting close to Christmas. But before that it's Father's Day! So what could be better than to give your father the silver birch as a Father's Day present? We also want to make an extra push for our sustainable and green Christmas gift tips. And for a bit of inspiration, we've included a picture of the umbrella tree "Unicorn Duck", native to Klingervatt Forest, Jämtland. An umbrella tree is an opportunity to earmark a unique tree in one of our forests. The umbrella tree has GPS coordinates so you can visit it. We hope you find a Christmas gift idea that suits you. Of course, you are welcome to contact us if you need help.
