Metsäkeskus is a Finnish governmental organization responsible for promoting sustainable forestry and providing guidance to forest owners. It operates under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. The main goals of Metsäkeskus include ensuring the ecological, economic, and social sustainability of Finnish forests.

The organization offers a range of services to private forest owners, including advice on forest management planning, silviculture, and the use of forest resources.
