Source: Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke), “Area treated with fellings (from notifications of forest use)”.

Notifications are normally submitted to the Finnish Forest Centre at least 10 days before harvesting, and no more than three years beforehand. This graph totals the areas from clear-cutting notifications by submission year. The notifications do not confirm that the clear-cutting took place.

For hectares, multiply by 100.
