Summer in our forests

SCA's forests offer many great experiences, especially during the summer. For example, you can visit one of our diversity parks, go on a fishing trip or look for butterflies. Just bear in mind the the motto of the Swedish Right of Public Acess: "Do not disturb - do not destroy". Welcome to our forests!

SCA's conservation parks

Welcome to visit our five conservation parks in northern Sweden. These areas is distinguished by a higher degree of diversity than the forest landscape in general. With the park, we are continuing our efforts to develop forestry and ensure even greater resilience and sustainability from all perspectives.

Fishing

There are plenty of fishing waters on our forest holdings and the majority of these are jointly owned fishing waters. Remember to buy the right fishing license before you go fishing.

Jämtkrogens butterfly park

In Jämtkrogen's butterfly park, endangered butterflies have been given a sanctuary. Here, SCA have, together with the county administrations in Jämtland and Västernorrland and other parties, a unique collaboration to save and preserve butterflies. Sunny forest glades and flowering roadsides should make rare species recover.

SCA creates climate benefits every day

Every year, SCA contributes with a climate benefit of more than 10 million tonns of carbon dioxide. Through active forestry, high growth and production of valuable timber in our forests is maintained. Forests provide renewable raw materials for the manufactures of products that replace those with a higher carbon foot print. In this way, the fossil carbon can be kept in the ground.

Sustainability permeates everything we do

Limiting global warming is one of today's biggest challenges. As a forest company, we want to contribute and be part of the solution.

We use the entire tree

SCA works actively to make use of the entire tree and all parts of residual streams. The most valuable part of the tree is refined in the sawmills into wooden products. Some of these become window components, painted panels or shelves. Just over half of the log becomes solid wood products. The rest becomes wood chips for pulp production or shavings that are processed into pellets. The bark is used for energy production.

Your partner for change

Sustainability is integrated into the entire business and part of SCA's business concept. See more about our work with sustainability in this video.

Trees and humans

The roots of our partnership go back thousands of years. We served one another. Helped expand our shared living space. We foster prosperity and well being across the generations. And yet our journey has just begun.
