Program:

Metsänpeitossa story concert by Uulu at 12:00

This concert is in Finnish. The concert follows a story where two cousins are spending their summer holiday at a summer cabin, but end up having an adventure of a lifetime when they go to the forest to pick berries for their grandmother's blueberry pie.

The concert draws inspiration from folk lore and nature conservation. During the concert you can learn about creatures from Finnish folk lore and how different traditional instruments sound. The audience can participate. About 45 minutes long.

Ant trail

On this independent activity trail you can dive into the fascinating world of ants. Ants are masters of collaboration and everyone has an important job in the colony. Come find out what interesting things happen in the anthill!

Bumblebee spot

At this informative spot you can learn how to differentiate the most common bumblebees and learn about citizen science and bumblebee counting. You can also learn about the apps iNaturalist and Seek, which you can use to identify species near you. iNaturalist Finland is a part of the international iNaturalist network. It forwards the sightings to the Finnish species information center, after which they can be used by scientists, officials and enthusiasts. All you need to do is look around!
