Sustainability begins in the forest

Increasing the number of certified forest owners and delivering training on more considerate felling are two of Moelven Skog’s priority areas. This makes us even more sustainable, from planting the tree until it is used as a construction material for your home.

Digital solutions to save energy

What is the tree used for?

At Moelven, we make a living from managing a renewable natural resource and we are committed to doing so in the best possible manner.
