If you love forests as much as we do, you have come to the right place. We are HaliPuu -family, from the little town of Levi in Finnish Lapland. We wanted to save our family forest from felling, and decided to turn it into a safe place for people from around the planet.
You can adopt a tree from our forest, visit us in real life or live on the Internet, or you can download our phone application and immerse yourself in the life in the Arctic.
Welcome, our forest is your forest!

Have you ever crunched snow under your fingers? Listened to a campfire crackle in a frozen forest? Or felt the warm pine bark against your cheek?
Our goal is to bring the Arctic nature close to everyone, no matter where on earth they are located. That is why we created the HaliPuu – Forest in your Pocket -app, bringing you extra live content, short meditative clips from the nature, Pappa’s forest stories and more. You can find it both in Apple App Store and on Google Play, completely free of charge!

We have had a gorgeous autumn here in HaliPuu -forest, with flaming red forest floor (see the blueberry plants in the picture) and golden trees. Alas, all good things must come to an end, and now the deciduous trees are bare, waiting to be covered with a layer of snow. More to the south, however, there is still beautiful fall foliage to be seen.…[Read more]
