Into the Forest I Go

Forests for Sweden are like mountains for Switzerland; the country is covered in them. Nearly seventy percent of Sweden's land area is forest, a source of not undeserved national pride. They're one of the few countries that can maintain a successful logging industry and increase tree cover at the same time. That is not to say that Sweden's forests do not face challenges. As in many other parts of the world, invasive insect pests can do substantial damage to nordic woodlands.
