What is Everyone’s Right to Forest Science?

Everyone’s right is a customary right in the Nordic Countries, which ensures open access to forests for all. The right includes, e.g. camping, berry picking, and enjoying the nature. In the spirit of this millennial tradition, we in Metsätieteen aikakauskirja think that access to forest science should not be restricted by pay-walls but be open to everyone.
