A study of the accountability of Swedish municipalities concering the social value of forests and how this accountability in forest policies can be improved.

The project aims were to chart the work done by municipalities in peri-urban forests and thereby their contribution to the implementation of the forest policy, and furthermore to study the agency of the municipalities on a national level concering the making of forest policy.
