Yle: Finland's most famous pine tree is dead

The most famous pine tree in Finland, located in Koli National Park, has died. The tree had become dry and shed its needles. A Yle journalist noticed the tree's death during a hike. Officials from Metsähallitus, the Finnish Forest Service, were unaware of the change. Experts note that the tree's death is natural and part of the forest's cycle. The tree was well-known among hikers and artists, including painter Eero Järnefelt, who depicted it over a century ago.

Kolin kansallispuistossa sijaitseva Suomen kenties tunnetuin mänty on kuollut, kertoo Yle.

Alueesta vastaavan Metsähallituksen työntekijät eivät olleet ehtineet huomata asiaa.

Metsähallituksen asiantuntija Suvi Haapalehto muistuttaa, että puun kuolema on luonnollinen asia ja osa metsän normaalia kiertokulkua. Kun kelo aikanaan kaatuu maahan, se tarjoaa elinympäristön kymmenille muille lajeille.

Tuhannet retkeilijät ovat vuosien varrella valokuvanneet kuuluisan puun.

Taiteilija Eero Järnefelt maalasi männyn tauluunsa yli sata vuotta sitten. Juuri tämä maalaus teki kyseisestä puusta tunnetun.
