The Natural Heritage Foundation uses donated funds to buy old forests that are in as natural a condition as possible and apply for permanent protection of their forests in accordance with the Nature Conservation Act.

CONSERVATION AREAS

Explore the protected areas

The Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation protects the areas in two different ways – they are protected by both the Nature Conservation Act and the Foundation Act.

When you make a donation, the donated funds are used to buy old-growth forests that are in as natural a condition as possible, and permanent protection will be sought for the areas in accordance with the Nature Conservation Act.
