We believe, instead of being debated about, the forest should be experienced in real life. Through practical forest work, the participants get to know firsthand the habitat of the mountain forest as well as its chances and problems. The work is done in close co-operation with the local forestry services.
Volunteering
Through tangible work, the participants experience the fascinating ecosystem of the mountain forest with all their senses. The importance of the protection forest and the measures for its care are experienced directly. Assignment participation allows meaningful action for the environment and shows the interrelationships in the mountain forest habitat. This contributes to the development of an ecological awareness and responsiveness to the forest's concerns.
