Skogsbruk på Mörkö
In the forests of Mörkö, we create food and shelter for wildlife
On Mörkö, the tradition of forestry is not as old as in Småland. Over the past 150 years, the land has been afforested from what was previously grazing landscape. The most fertile areas are found in the northern part of the island, while the southern areas are more barren. There is a rich variety of broadleaf forests, majestic oaks, old gnarled pines on the rocky hills, and large spruces in the lowlands.
The dry springs and early summers make site-adapted forestry on Mörkö even more important than usual, ensuring that each tree species has the best possible conditions to grow. Site adaptation simply means planting each tree species where it thrives best—in other words, the right tree in the right place.
Of our landholdings on Mörkö, 2,731 hectares consist of productive forest land, with an average site productivity of 7 m³sk.
