Enjoying Finland's Forests with Your Dog
Finland's vast forests are a playground for dogs and their owners. With 'Everyman's Right' (Jokamiehenoikeus), you have wide access to nature, but it's important to follow local rules to protect the environment and wildlife.
Golden Advice
"During the nesting season (March to August), dogs must be on a leash in all Finnish forests and nature areas. This is a critical legal requirement to protect ground-nesting birds and young wildlife. Always carry out everything you carry in, including pet waste."
