A topical, non-judgmental and multi-faceted book about the state of Finnish forests, a “new generation forest book” by four young journalists from Northern Finland.

Finnish forests are at a turning point. The majority of the country’s forests are commercial forests, where logging is a record high. How did it come to this? What could be done to preserve forests for future generations? Written with a journalist approach, The Forest After Us addresses a topical issue. It proposes alternatives, and together with forest users and researchers, considers what Finnish forest could look like in the future – a forest that benefits both the national economy and nature.
