The Metsä Conservation Foundation protects forests of high biodiversity value in Finland.
The goal of the Metsä Conservation Foundation is to strengthen the state of nature and offer forest owners compensation for forest conservation. The Foundation uses donated funds to permanently protect forests.
The Foundation protects forests and associated habitats such as marshes and small waterbodies in cooperation with the landowner. All sites are permanently protected.
The Conservation Committee and the Foundation's Board select the sites for conservation. All conserved sites are verified via field visit.
The Metsä Conservation Foundation was founded in 2025 by Metsäliitto Cooperative, which is owned by 90,000 private forest owners.
