Despite cold temperatures and a thin blanket of snow over the forest floor, everyone was highly motivated, following the expert´s guidance from the local forestry office. In between,…

A fence was build with a group of Volunteers to protect an area of the forest, that we want to restore as a nature near mixed forest. The section of the forest has been used as part of a commercial mono-culture tree plantation in the past.
