Forest excursion in Boden – All of Norrbotten takes part!
Meet at 09.00 at Lidl car park in Boden for shared transport to the forest area. Return around 14.30.

Welcome to a forest day where we share the joy of being outdoors and the sense of community, knowing that many others are out exploring the forests on the same day! On Saturday 20 September, local groups from the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation across Norrbotten will explore and survey a forest in their municipality. In Boden, we are invited by a private landowner to a fascinating woodland. We’ll investigate the area and its species, enjoy being out in nature and talk about forests and wildlife. On the way back, we’ll pass Laxholmen in Edefors and do some birdwatching along the road.

Everyone is welcome – members and non-members, with or without prior knowledge. Bring your own packed lunch, clothes for the weather and, if you have them, a magnifying glass and binoculars.
