Increasing recreational use of the Ruotsinkylä research forest

The state owns an area of over 400 hectares on the southern edge of Tuusula, which is mainly research forest belonging to the Finnish Forest Research Institute. The area is criss-crossed by several roads, but it is suitable for many types of recreational use. The forest and trails in the area are ideal for jogging, walking, skiing and orienteering, and in the summer you can pick berries and mushrooms. You can also go mountain biking and train and walk your dogs there. With

a few small measures, the recreational use of the forest can be improved and increased while ensuring that it can continue to be used for research purposes. We propose that the municipality initiate negotiations with the Natural Resources Institute Finland with the aim of improving the conditions for recreational and outdoor use of the research forest through cooperation. The first step would be to draw up a map of the area showing the paths, points of interest and car parks providing access to the area. Based on the map, it would be possible to erect signs to the car parks serving the area. In addition to the existing parking facilities, the following could also be used for parking The schoolyard of the Klemetskog school and the roadside along the lane leading from the Korson junction towards Tuusulantie on Mätäkivenmäki. The currently underused parking area at the Berga bus stop on Tuusulantie is also suitable for people enjoying outdoor activities in the area. A suitable number of campfire

sites could be built in the area in the future. The municipality could participate in the implementation of the area’s facilities in an agreed manner.
