Finland is one-and-a-half times larger than the UK. Forests cover most of this land, and every tree felled must be replaced. There are nearly 200,000 lakes; most cover only a few acres, but 300-or-so are like small inland seas. There is a universal right to roam, except over tilled farmland and private gardens.
