My first impression upon moving there was that Finland is far more ecologically conscious than the US. But at this point I fully agree with what you said about old-growth preserves being carefully managed around cities. It’s propaganda to keep the liberals ignorant of how bad it is once you venture out… that’s my feeling at the moment. Appreciate the historical context you added, as always.
Indeed and you don’t often need to go much out of a city forest to get to the depressing bit. Near me there is a hiking trail that becomes a clear logged land of sad only a few kilometres in. It’s very distressing.

Finland still has very very beautiful nature. I really like it and it’s worth preserving.
