Business area Forest takes care of SCA's large forest holdings. We have extensive experience in caring for and cultivating the forest. Our forests are managed long-term with the ambition to both produce more valuable raw materials and to preserve and develop the forest's other values. We also buys timber from private forest owners and offer them a variation of forestry services for profitable and sustainable forestry.
Our responsible forestry combines high production of valuable renewable raw material with extensive consideration to the forest's other values – biodiversity, reindeer husbandry, ancient and cultural remains, experiences and much more.
Everyone is welcome to our forests. Come and hike, pick berries and mushrooms or simply enjoy the calm atmosphere of the forest.

Plants that grow into trees, bind carbon dioxide and form the forests of the future. Follow the development from seed to plant.

Digital speed limitation for timber trucks works well on stretches with a lot of infrastructure, .

Hunting is an important part our forest management. We offer hunting privileges to thousands of hunters each year. We also have a lot of waters for fishing experiences.
