In many Stora Enso locations, we are right next to nature's wild life. Like here, in the Veitsiluoto landfill area. Terek sandpiper is keen on forest industry and specially wood yards. Veitsiluoto mill area is one of the few nesting places of this beautifull bird in whole western Europe.

“The forests are our ‘green gold’ and one of the solutions tackling climate change. In today’s urbanised world, people seem to have lost contact with the forest. I hope more people realise what forestry can give us today and in the future.” Ida Bränngård, Forestry Manager, Stora Enso.
