Municipalities in northern Sweden are switching away from the traditional style of forestry, that is one of radical clear cuts, to a more sustainable form.
Radical clear cuts were once deemed vastly superior to anything known to men - just like everything else Sweden does. Quite a drastic shift!

What are a few species that are about to go exciting compared to enormous short term profits with Amazon boxes!
Don’t forget, the biggest player on the field is the Swedish state itself.
