The average age of pine forests with their ancient living Pine Pinus sylvestris trees, and dead standing trees is often over 250 years.

Ice and Fire Marks of the Ice Age 10,000 years ago are still visible everywhere in the landscape of the Central Finland. However, there is still enough time to gaze at the lovely nature around me.
