A new report from Pellervo Economic Research Institute (PTT) indicates a significant shift in Finnish forest ownership is underway. Approximately one-third of private forest owners – representing 3.5 million hectares of forest land – may transfer or relinquish ownership by 2035. This transition is driven by a generational change, with PTT suggesting increased discussion around lifetime transfers rather than inheritance. Data from the National Land Survey of Finland shows a trend of forest properties moving from private individuals to institutional investors like funds and corporations over the past decade. The report highlights a structural change in the forest real estate market. This shift could have substantial implications for forest management practices and the Finnish forestry sector. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing this evolving landscape.
