The forest exhibition has been organized in the Joensuu region seven times before. Due to the corona, the exhibition was last held in 2019.
The Forestry Center of Finland and ProAgria Itä-Suomi will organize the Silva 2023 Forest Exhibition in Joensuu in the fall.
The previous Silva was organized before the corona in 2019. Pandemia postponed the organization of the next exhibition to this year.
The exhibition, free of admission, can be seen in Joensuu’s Laulurinte area on September 8 and 9. 25,000 visitors and 200 exhibitors are expected at the exhibition.
The central themes of the Silva 2023 Forest Exhibition are, for example, security of supply, forest bioeconomy, new innovations in wood, and the rise of nature tourism. The stage in front of Laulurinne will be used by the vocational college Riveria, Karelia University of Applied Sciences and Eastern Finland College for forestry education exhibitions.
The Silva Forest Show has been organized in the Joensuu region since 1999. The autumn exhibition is the eighth of its kind.
