Fewer young people own forest in Dalarna County

The number of younger forest owners has more than halved since the turn of the millennium in Dalarna County. Emma Graaf, 42, from Norhyttan is bucking the trend.

The number of young forest owners is decreasing sharply in the county. At the same time, the proportion of forest owners over 75 years old is growing.

Emma Graaf plans to take over her family's forest in the future. She says that is her intention to continue with the ownership.

The development is described as a clear change in the ownership structure for forests in the region.
