Values created by Naturarvet
In addition to biodiversity, the values created by Natural Heritage activities include a favorable climate through large existing stocks and the continued storage of carbon in forest soils, which are left untouched and thus do not release carbon into the atmosphere. Protecting forest land is one of the most effective ways you can contribute to reducing carbon emissions to the atmosphere and slowing down climate change. Read more about the values created by Naturarvet here.

Potected forests
When the forest is owned by Naturarvet , it is protected in perpetuity by the statutes prohibiting logging and other forestry or agricultural activities and the sale of the forest land. It is thus protected at least at the level of a national park. Often, Natural Heritage forests also become nature reserves by decision of the relevant county administrative board. Discover and visit the old-growth forests of Natural Heritage and read more about our protected forests here.
