Yew trees, oak trees, silver birch trees, ash trees, weeping willow trees, fir trees, and bonsai trees.
I also love those extremely tall and slender trees that are frequently seen in Scandinavian forests - but I don't know the name of them.

This is a forest ... for me forests needs to be untouched from humans actions. Otherwise it is one kind of tree field, park etc. (like some photos in this thread are)
'
Extremely clean air => the beard moss is growing that well:
These photos actually shows, why Scandinavians will win 6 - 0 all the orientation competitions which will be in our ''forets''.
BTW: How much forest you own? 100 hectares? 300 hectares? More? I own nothing yet either, but after time of my parents => I will.

2 hectares only. It consists of mostly pine, beech and oak, but has also some birch, alder and the unpleasant neophyte Robinia pseudoacacia. I planted 200 yews (with indigenous origin) in it as it needs just 4% of the light and fits as another layer essentially in every forest.
Your untouched by human actions assumption seems not fully applicable. Just abt. 0.3% of the forest in Sweden is primeval and untouched forest and it's mostly located far away in the fjäll or in national parks.
"I Sverige finns 85 000 hektar urskog, ungefär 0,3 procent av den totala skogsarealen. Det mesta av urskogen finns i de fjällnära områdena, men det finns exempel på urskogsliknande områden nära tättbefolkade orter, till exempel Tyresta nationalpark utanför Stockholm."

No idea what they are called but grew up in mountains and forrests. What an awesome simple village life thinking back about it no wonder by great granpa lived to 102.

Who said the "forest" (350 hectares) was in Sweden? It is in Ostrobothnia (where my parents lives). Who said it was untouchable? It's not (a bit sad, but realism). Anyway, damn sure there's a lot more trees per hectares than in your "park" picture ''Ossi''.
Ours is mainly pine and some birch too. There are slightly younger forest (+ 20 years), middle-aged forest (40 - 50 years) and a lot of old forest (over + 60 years). In theory, it would be possible to cut yours 2 hectares every year, plant the new trees ... and go around the 350 hectares and start over. But since my parents have office jobs (the farm is just anymore extra/2 income), there has been no reason to cut down the forest in the last 20 years. It grows, ages and ages. Whole area is certificated by PEFC. We could easily certificate it also via FSC (would passed that easily) but we have not yet done it. Perhaps in the future if needed.
Here in southern Sweden, I only get an apartment or a small summer house through my grandparents as an inheritance (one day).

Pine: All varieties of this species, good smell, also have been an important source of chinese traditional medicine.
Ginkgo: Noble, spiritual, beautiful.
Spruce: A noric species of trees I have never actually seen as a southerner, rather since most classical musical instruments were made of this species of wood.
Not sure about different types of forests, maybe meadows, valleys are just beautiful to look at.
