Per Martin Tvengsberg now lives at Warangu Mois, EE-46231 Varangu in Estland where he restores historic old buildings by old authentic methods. Foreword to his book translated book (Svedjebruk); by Ragnhild Queseth Haarstad. Head of the Board at Norsk Skogfinsk Museum Finnforest culture has its roots to the east, and is found throughout northern Eurasia. Shifting cultivation was the main means for the survival of the forest Finns. Shifting cultivation was a very land-intensive farming method, resulting in a constant need for new areas. This was the reason for the migration, which spread slowly westward. They searched for new forests, needing spruce of good quality. Forest Finns came to Norway between 1620 and 1630. They first settled in the forests bordering Sweden, but then spread further into the eastern part of Telemark in the west. There are registered Forest Finn settlements in 40 municipalities in Hedmark, Oppland, Oslo, Akershus, Østfold and Telemark counties. Norsk Skogfinsk Museum main task is to preserve and show the world the Forestfinns culture. Per Martin Tvengsberg is one of those who have the most knowledge about this culture. I therefor recommend this script to all who are interested in knowing more of this topic. His book Svedjebruk is now translated into English.
