Einari Vidgrén Foundation Awards Responsible Forestry Professionals

20 years ago, Einari Vidgrén, the founder of Ponsse Plc, established a foundation bearing his name to highlight Finnish forest know-how in terms of logging. In June, the Foundation will once again reward distinguished forestry experts. This year, the Foundation is looking for responsible logging professionals, whose work focuses on the broad range of forest machinery and forestry skills, as well as sustainable development.

 The Einari Award, the main prize of the Einari Vidgrén Foundation, is awarded for long-term activities in the demanding harvesting industry and for professional entrepreneurship in the forest machine sector. The Foundation also seeks winners in four categories: the Lifetime Achievement Award, Global CTL, the Recognition Awards, and the Operator Awards. The student scholarships awarded each year are provided by the forest machine schools.
