Other things to note In Finland, everyone has the right to freely roam the forests, countryside, lakes and rivers by foot, skis, boat or bicycle. Everyone can also pick as many wild berries and mushrooms as they like. This concept is called ‘Everyman’s Rights’. ​ There are a few rules though which you must bear in mind. Don’t harm plants, animals or property, don’t leave litter, don’t pick someone’s own fruits, berries or vegetables without permission, don’t camp too near to anyone’s house, don’t make too much noise and don’t disturb anyone’s privacy. Fishing : If you are between 18 and 64 years old and plan to fish in Finland with anything other than a hook and line, you must pay the national fisheries management fee.
