Forest values

Linnaeus University brings together unique research and education in forestry and the forest industry. With the aim of taking a holistic approach to the entire value chain, we address today’s and tomorrow’s sustainability challenges in a systematic way – from the tree in the forest, through development and production, to a long and sustainable life for the final product.
