Hanging Moss or Timber – Northern Forests Leading the Way to Sustainability

New ways to assess the sustainability of forest based activities in Northern Europe was the main topic of the Northern ToSIA final conference which was held in Rovaniemi, Finland on 18-19 August 2011. Drawing on several case studies, the final conference demonstrated how the results of the project can help managers balance the demands of different aspects of forestry, for example bio-energy and timber production, reindeer husbandry, wildlife management and recreation.
