Consulting services and training
Tapio’s consulting services provide solutions for sustainable and efficient forest management and forest-based bioeconomy. We offer different types of training services ranging from one-day courses to extensive training modules lasting several months. Open training sessions offered to a wide range of participants bring together forestry professionals working for different types of businesses. According to customer feedback, this has generated fruitful debates and discussions well supporting the training itself. We also offer interactive web learning and organize webinars for groups of different sizes.
Forest tree seeds
Tapio Seed Centre produces top quality spruce, pine and birch tree seeds for forest sowing and nurseries representing almost half of the forest tree seeds used in Finland. In addition to a wide and high-quality selection of seeds, the Seed Centre provides up-to-date expert assistance and works in close cooperation with the leading researchers in this field.
Tapio owns about 400 hectares of seed orchards which produce breeded pine, spruce, birch and larch seeds. Trees originating from seed orchads are capable of producing more and better quality wood material, and they are more resistant to pests and fungicides.
Digital solutions, forest management systems
ForestKIT is a tool for forest management professionals. The ForestKIT application is used by private entrepreneurs, cities, municipalities, organizations responsible for community forests, and large forest owners. The application is fully web-based, and technical support is included in the service package.
TAPIO Maastotaulukot (Field Charts) is a handy mobile application for forestry specialist and forest owner for field work. From the application, forest professionals and forest owners can find quickly, effortlessly and reliably an up-to-date answer to questions such as: Is it time for a thinning? How valuable is a tree? Should I protect the environment surrounding a stream? What methods are available for water conservation? What is trending now in the forest sector?
Auditing Services
Tapio´s Quality Control services provide neutral assessment on how forest management and ecological requirements have been implemented in practice.
