Vol. 98 No. Supplement 2 (2022): Societas pro Fauna et Flora Fennica 200 years

In honor of the 200th anniversary celebrations of the Societas pro Fauna et Flora Fennica, a fundraising was organized to acquire an old Finnish forest for protection in collaboration with the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation. The landscape in Laipansalo is particularly beautiful, and its forest retains a strong feeling of an old-growth forest in its natural state. The long shoreline of the small lake hidden in the forest is especially charming. As a conservation area, the natural state of the wild forest will increase over the coming decades, and the habitats will become more and more suitable for species that live in old-growth forests.
