Focus
Stiftelsen Skogssällskapet primarily provides funding for needs-motivated research in forest management and nature conservation.
Stiftelsen Skogssällskapet’s interpretation of the concept ‘forest management’ is management that treats forest as a renewable resource in a way that ensures the forest’s long-term production capacity.
The foundation’s interpretation of the concept ‘nature conservation’ with links to forest and use of forest involves ensuring its ecological, social, and aesthetic values.
Skogssällskapet also contributes to practical implementation of research results and existing knowledge, so can also award grants to communication and knowledge dissemination initiatives that concern forest management and nature conservation.
Funding may be awarded in other areas of nature conservation than research, providing the projects lie within the foundation’s interpretation of the concept of nature conservation.
Who can apply for funding from Stiftelsen Skogssällskapet?

Organisations run for profit and public sector actors other than universities, university colleges, and research institutes may not apply for funding from Stiftelsen Skogssällskapet.
