In the forests at Ramundersborg in Söderköping, the landowners cooperate.
After the County Administrative Board's redemption, the landowner Jens Persson has approximately 70 hectares of forest left.
He now undertakes to protect at least 2 hectares voluntarily without claiming compensation.
Tore Dahlström himself asked the Reading Board to redeem half of his old-growth forest.

Landowners in Östergötland, as in the rest of Sweden, sell voluntarily and without compensation an average of about 6 percent of their productive forest.
Significantly more than is protected by the State and the County Administrative Boards.
