The purpose of this study was to examine how the number of cultural remains, the area of the final felling site and the forest owner’s knowledge, attitude and behavior related to the consideration taken to cultural environments. The study was built upon results from the HK-inventory as well as qualitative interviews with seven forest owners. The results indicated that the risk of negative impact increased when two or more cultural remains were located at the felling site. Felling sites where two or more cultural remains had been affected and where at least one of these remains was affected negatively, were also larger than those sites where adequate consideration had been taken. Furthermore, the forest owner’s knowledge and attitude could have an effect on his or her behavior in regards to cultural consideration. Larger felling sites that affect two or more cultural remains should be extra monitored before and during felling procedures to ensure adequate consideration towards cultural environments located at the site. Forest owners can probably have an influence on consideration but need more knowledge about different types of cultural environments and how to act to achieve adequate consideration towards cultural environments in general.
