Finding: logging planned in an area important for developing the forest protection network in southern Finland.

A clearcutting plan of state-owned mature forests between two small old-growth forest protection areas. The logging will affect the ecological functions of the small protection area and eliminate possibilities of enlargement. Logging will take place in the spring of 2001.
