Forest mapping is a tool used to gain information about a forest, for example the condition of the forest and what kinds of species are in there. This information can be used to help protect forests, for example by finding threatened species of moss, lichen or polypores. This trip will be guided by forest mappers Otto Snellman and Ida Korhonen.

This is a beginner friendly event, which means that you do not need to know anything about forests. Since we are a youth organization, this event is aimed primarily towards young people (up to 29) – however, people of all ages are welcome to attend! The event will be held in mostly in English, but you will learn some Finnish terminology for forests and forest species. 

We will be doing a lot of walking in this event, so please be prepared for that.

We will have a joint departure from Itäkeskus at 16:48 on bus 831 which will take us to Landbo. The end stop is in zone C, so you will need to have a valid ticket. You are also welcome to arrive another way. 

You will be emailed the event meeting location and more logistics a few days before the event.

If you have any questions, you can send them to sommer.ackerman@luontoliitto.fi
