Well-managed forests
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 broad variation of forestry services for profitable and sustainable forestry.

SCA's responsible 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.
Welcome to our forests
Everyone is welcome to our forests. Come and hike, pick berries and mushrooms or simply enjoy the calm atmosphere of the forest.
Our tree nurseries - for a new forest
SCA's plant operation NorrPlant lay the foundation for the next generation forest. Every year, around 100 million seedlings see the light of day on our own "forest nursery". Plants that grow into trees, bind carbon dioxide and form the forests of the future. Follow the development from seed to plant.

SingleTree – for a more optimal forestry
How can the forest's value chains be optimized using information about individual trees in combination with AI and remote sensing? This is what the extensive EU research project SingleTree aims to discover, in which SCA is one of 14 expert participants. "This is a very exciting project that addresses highly relevant issues," says André Wästlund from SCA Skog's technology and digitization staff.
Remote-controlled forest machines included in the IVA 100 List
The project "Robust wireless infrastructure for remotely controlled timber management," where SCA is one of the participants, is seen as a project with potential. This is the view of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA), which has listed the project on its annual 100 list. The list highlights the most promising research projects with a focus on innovations through interdisciplinary collaboration.
Forests of the future begins with cone picking
Every fourth seedling planted in Sweden comes from SCA’s tree nurseries. And to get seedlings, you need seeds – lots of seeds. SCA therefore has several fully owned and part-owned seed cultures around Sweden, from which cones are harvested each year.
Hunting and fishing
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.
