A participatory forest planning project was carried out in the Tuomalansuo forest in Tuusula in 2021–2022. Forest management in the area has been planned on the basis of biodiversity and recreational use in collaboration with various stakeholders.

Due to its location, the forest is also an important recreational area for the residents of Tuusula, Kerava and Järvenpää. The area has a lit outdoor trail. The Tuomalansuo forest includes areas owned by the municipality, private owners and the Finnish Defence Forces. When the general plan was drawn up, the Tuomalansuo recreation area designation V was changed to MU after the plan was made public. The MU designation for forest areas owned by private forest owners is appropriate, but it does not sufficiently protect the forest area owned by the municipality.

We propose that the Tuomala forest, owned by the municipality, be designated a nature reserve so that it can be preserved as a recreational and nature area for future generations.
