Thanks to all of you, Protect the Forest has won many partial victories and celebrates many highlights from 2025: we have spread the knowledge about our most threatened forest ecosystems; We have continued to document the unique natural values of our Swedish forests, got large companies to boycott raw materials from controversial felling of forests worthy of protection, and are gaining more and more support for a scientifically based forest policy that is truly sustainable. Thank you for all the support and encouragement during the year, and towards new victories in 2026!

The courses have been at Lindsberg&#8217;s training center but also with various forest groups in the country who wanted to learn more about how to inventory forests. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-05932cb35e90cd98ff19a1040f3a09ad\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.2), 16px);\">During the year, several endangered forests have also been inventoried, and in most cases the forests have been allowed to remain thanks to the certification&#8217;s rules on high conservation values or the legislation&#8217;s rules on protected species.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ce509a4f584959756e13cfa812852692\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.2), 16px);\">However, some forests with high conservation values have also been felled in violation of both certification and legislation, which clearly shows that Swedish forestry is not to be trusted and is still depleting the biodiversity of our forests despite promises and international agreements to stop the depletion by 2030.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-649a8c0b132895a40cb009938a225643\"><strong>The third highlight we celebrate is the Forest Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"954\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-3.png 954w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-3-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-3-768x454.png 768w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-3-370x219.png 370w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-3-840x497.png 840w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-3-410x242.png 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-732d3ac3153051297c94a18f794b6da9\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.2), 16px);\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/en\/skogsfestivalen-2025-en-manifestation-for-skogen\/\">This year&#8217;s Forest Festival<\/a> took place July 18-20 in \u00c5fallet Forest Garden, southern N\u00e4rke. It was a warm festival in a double sense, around 30 degrees in the shade, and with many warm and inspiring conversations, meetings and activities. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fa6c3c7994df902fa4b900fcec3bc95f\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.2), 16px);\">The Forest Festival is an inspiring meeting place for forest enthusiasts, forest garden enthusiasts and those committed to the environment. The festival is the Nordic region&#8217;s largest meeting place for forest activists and this time over 300 people from 6 countries participated. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f456766b898075f471edca66292842b2\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.2), 16px);\">This year&#8217;s themes were the forest and climate, biodiversity, forest gardens, humanity&#8217;s environmental challenges, close-to-nature forestry and forest ecology, etc.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9684e37c03953a495f324cd84c35fff7\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.2), 16px);\">The festival is both a knowledge-spreading activity and a festive tribute to environmental work and everyone who is committed to the forest, a way to meet and inspire each other. The festival is unique in that it is a meeting place between cultural workers, educators, forest activists, researchers and practitioners in close-to-nature forestry, forest gardens and nature conservation. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-5c5cb19dd93da45fa076d1205ecdacae\"><strong>Another big highlight we celebrate is our boreal mushroom project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-4-1024x410.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-68936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-4-1024x410.png 1024w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-4-300x120.png 300w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-4-768x308.png 768w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-4-1536x615.png 1536w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-4-370x148.png 370w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-4-840x337.png 840w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-4-410x164.png 410w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-4.png 1797w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b3fe2bb5ae8025759031b510d4b676f8\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.2), 16px);\">In the spring of 2025, we started the Boreal Mushroom Forests Mushroom Project. We work with soil fungi in boreal forests, where many endangered species have their main distribution but where knowledge about occurrence and distribution is still insufficient, with large white spots on the map. Our work includes mapping, inventory, knowledge gathering, knowledge dissemination and networking activities.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8ece5d4e391f9d4c54a228f9865a321b\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.2), 16px);\">In September, we gathered actors from Sweden and Norway for a symposium on boreal limestone coniferous forests in the R\u00e5ne\u00e5 river valley. The program included excursions, lectures, important networking and good conversations with exchange of experiences and knowledge. And yes, we made fun finds too, including jewel spider, new to Norrbotten. The nearest find of the species to the south is in Matfors outside H\u00e4rn\u00f6sand, 1980!

In 2026, we will continue with inventories, analyses and knowledge dissemination. During the first quarter, we will also launch our website where we will share results and updates on species finds and inventories.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9d93f6a70b04971a67263a3179f3103e\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.2), 16px);\">And one more thing: the area is huge. We won&#8217;t be able to do this ourselves. Therefore, in 2026, we are developing information support for those of you who want to go out and take inventory. We need your help, and together we can do so much more!   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-7b2e048b5f9d82946da12117b67588de\"><strong>We are also celebrating the launch of our new Forest Webinar series<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-dark-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-524402e08ea831b579bf637cf70955b1\" style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.2), 16px);\">In November 2025, Protect the Forest launched a webinar series on the forest and forest policy, where actors with different backgrounds and expertise are invited to lecture and discuss with the participants.
