    Well, Finnish forests are heavily forested and the cut down area was likely farmed/planted as well. They wouldn’t have managed to purchase the land for this purpose if there were actual old growth trees there, only few such places remain.

    The environment around the forest matters more, e.g. rivers, ditches, swamps and so on. Most forests here are cut every 40-90 years and replanted after cutting.
