    Assuming this is for conservation, it's hard to find reasons this is a bad thing.

      Why would Alex Karp randomly buy Swedish forest for conservation?

        Skiing. He arranges his life around Nordic skiing to an incredible degree.

          I don't really know anything about skiing, but can you do that in a virgin old-growth forest?

            Who said it's a virgin old-growth forest?

              I too doubt it is actually old-growth. Probably industrial forest. Which means that there is plenty of space around most of the trees.
