Not that strange really, Sweden don’t really have a history of massive ranches like many other countries, woods where often owned mutually by small farmers instead of dividing it. Since acorn tree has always been regarded as high quality, thus expensive, there must have been many disagreements about how to use it.
This laws relevance in the twentifirst century can obviously be debated, however.
