		Nuuksio´s forests have been felled since the 18th century, so that it cannot be called a wilderness in the classic sense.

		Nuuksio is in total, depending on how it is calculated, an area of lakes and forests of between 10,000 and 20,000 hectares, on the borders of Espoo, Vihti and Vantaa, to the west of Helsinki.
