Cut Down Trees but Keep The Forest

The true economics behind plantations vs. Close to Nature Forestry

Done correctly, Close to Nature Forestry increases the economic performance and the environmental and climate benefits.

It also builds up resilience — the ability to withstand and recover from disturbances such as storms, fires, droughts, and floods.

For the forest, the landscape — and thereby the resilience of society as a whole.

Mikael Karlsson is one of Sweden’s leading experts on Close to Nature Forestry, with over two decades of experience and more than 4,000 books sold. He challenges people to see things differently — and thereby to see solutions where others only see problems.

His motto is that no one should have to rely on a single word he says; he wants to show and explain things so that anyone who wants to understand has the chance to do so.

Warmly welcome to an afternoon about the challenges and the great possibilities of Close to Nature Forestry!
