In May 2023, the Swedish Presidency of the Council organised a meeting for EU Forest Directors in Skellefteå and one for the EU Nature Directors in Färnebofjärden national park.

In two meetings of the group, stakeholders discussed with the Commission how networking and collaboration can help resolve tensions and address the multiple needs facing forest-dominant rural areas.
