List reveals Sweden's largest private forest owners by county

A new list presents Sweden's largest private forest owners, divided by county. Interest in investing in forests remains high across the country. Johan Larsson from Föreningen Skogen highlights the economic security from long-term returns.

Interest in forest investments is growing in Sweden, and a fresh list spotlights the country's largest private forest owners. The list, covering 201 individuals, is divided by county and reveals who owns the most forest in each region. According to Johan Larsson at Föreningen Skogen, forests represent a smart investment. 'The reasons why it's smart to invest in forest include economic security through long-term returns,' he says. The list underscores how forests are viewed as a stable asset in an uncertain economy, focusing on private ownership rather than state or corporate holdings. The publication arrives amid rising priorities for sustainability and natural resources in investment decisions.
