The International Day for Biological Diversity will also be visible in Helsinki in the Esplanadi park: forestry students will distribute spruce seedlings grown in UPM’s Joroinen nursery to passers-by.“The tree seedlings remind people of the International Day of Biological Diversity as well as of the long time span of sustainable forestry and the importance of forest regeneration as a central part of responsible forest management,” says Timo Lehesvirta, Director, UPM Environment. “Taking care of regeneration of forests is the basis for our operations. Our forest experts in different countries plant about 50 million new trees every year.”
