Metsähallitus, the Finnish state-owned enterprise responsible for managing state-owned land and water areas, has announced that it will again be rewarding bird watchers for discovering new eagle nests. For each new nest of the golden eagle, the reward is set at one hundred euros. Additionally, in reindeer herding areas, there is also a cash reward for finding previously unknown nests of the white-tailed eagle.

In areas managed by Metsähallitus, nearly all known eagle nests are marked with numbered signs, helping to track and study these birds. However, Metsähallitus encourages the public to report any newly discovered nests that do not carry these identification signs. Eagle nests can be quite large, often built in remote forest areas on trees or cliff edges, making their discovery particularly significant for conservation efforts.

To report a new eagle nest, individuals are asked to contact Eetu Sundvall, a conservation specialist at Metsähallitus, via email. Reports should include the reporter's contact information, the coordinates of the nest, and the location details. Additionally, it is recommended to include a photo of the nest, if possible, without disturbing the nesting process, in order to aid in the study and conservation of these majestic birds.
