摘要：WHEN THEY LOOK at discussions in the media, people in northern Finland might get the impression that attitudes toward commercial berry pickers from Asia and other parts of the world are wholly negative and that local people feel that their rights have been violated. However, a survey carried out in Finland in 2009–2011 and feedback from Lapland in 2012–2013 show that attitudes are not so black and white. The survey targeted nature-oriented Finns, mainly those living in the northern part of the country. The results indicated that a slight majority (55 % of respondents) felt that berry picking restrictions are either not needed or should be minor ones. About 45 per cent wanted to restrict picking by foreigners more than picking by Finnish citizens. Those who advocated restrictions most (approx. 9 %) wanted rather harsh ones – for foreign as well as non-local Finnish pickers.
