Our forests
Linum Skog manages forests in Värmland, Dalarna and Härjedalen with a clear focus: to develop the value of forests over time. Our operations are based on a balance between production, environmental consideration and new opportunities linked to forests – from biodiversity to future climate solutions and market-based forest values.
Forest Holdings and Geography
Linum Skog owns approximately 175,000 hectares of land, of which 145,000 hectares are productive forest land.
The forests are located in Värmland, Dalarna and Härjedalen and are dominated by pine. The total standing volume amounts to just over 20 million cubic metres.
Sustainable Forestry
Our forests have a concentration in age classes 40–70 years, creating favourable conditions for stable and sustainable production.
Forestry is conducted based on science and proven experience, with a focus on creating value over time – economically, environmentally and socially.
Nature Conservation and Forest Values
Consideration for biodiversity is an integral part of our operations and a prerequisite for sustainable forestry.
10 percent of the productive forest land is set aside for conservation purposes within the frameworks of FSC® and PEFC certification.
At the same time, we are developing business opportunities linked to the climate and environmental values of forests, including renewable energy as well as carbon and biodiversity credits.
