Forest regeneration

Sustainable forest management

In Sweden, Iggesund sources all the wood from sister company Holmen Skog. Holmen Skog is one of Swedens largest forest land owners and manage their forests according to the FSC®(FSC-C019863)  and PEFC (PEFC/05-33-105) regulations.

Holmen’s book "The art of growing forests" summarises our view of how forests should be managed in order to ensure efficiency and sustainability.

Forestry is undergoing constant development. The requirements are changing. New knowledge is being added. Forest stewardship must therefore take a long-term perspective and follow the changing requirements in the world at large.

Sweden’s Forestry Act was passed in 1903 and lists the demands made by society on forest owners. The act says the forest is a renewable resource that must be managed so it will provide a sustainable good return. Consideration must be paid to nature, the cultural environment, reindeer herding and other interests.

One of the Act’s main articles states that new trees must be planted after felling when the land’s timber-producing ability is not being used. To achieve this, tested methods and tree species that are suitable to the location must be used via planting, seeding or natural regeneration. These measures must be implemented at the latest during the third year after the felling year.
