Autumn Meeting and Club Evening: Guardian of Old-Growth Forests

Pasila Library auditorium, Rautatieläisenkatu 8, entrance from Kellosilta 9.

At the autumn meeting, the association's chair and board members are elected, and the 2027 activity plan and budget are approved. The association provides meeting coffee and tea - bring your own mug.

After the meeting, the group moves to old-growth forests. Conservation director Vilma Kaukoranta presents the work of the Foundation for Natural Heritage: the foundation acquires old forests and other valuable natural areas through donations and permanently protects them as private nature reserves under Finland's nature conservation law. The foundation was established in 1995 by fisherman-author Pentti Linkola under the name Nature Reserve Foundation, with its seed capital being the 400,000 marks that Linkola had saved over decades. In 2025, the foundation protected, among other sites, a forest area in Kirkkonummi Kauhala with Microsoft's support - more details about this and several other locations will be shared in the evening's presentation.
