LOCAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT - Forest Trail

The “Forest Trails” projects aim is to diffuse a completely new concept of forest therapy tracks and the multisided use of forest in Europe. In Ikaalinen,Finland was developed a special concept of forest tracks which has been studied in its psychological and physiological effects in university level. The track contains several exercises which must be done with certain intervals (timing) in the forest. The effects of this kind of track are measurable directly in the human beings physiological valors (cortisol level, stress level, immunological level of cells). Within the transnational collaboration the scope is to diffuse this unique track idea and increase also the possibility to healthier live for persons also in different countries as well in Finland. The multiple use of forest property and areas can promote also the rural tourism as well the sustainable use of forests and other economical aspects. Within the project were established the first private wellbeing enterprise paths as well the first “Wellbeing tracks” in Sweden, Luxembourg and France. Read more HERE

LOCAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT - Management fishing in the Lakes Finjasjön and Bosarpasjön. The Transnational Project: Developing Methods of Management Fishery and Utilization of Haul

In this international project, various methods for restoring the balance in fish communities have been implemented in lakes with algal blooms. We have developed and refined fishery strategies with the purpose of minimizing the costs and protecting and promoting the valuable predatory fish.
By fyke nets and seines, we have fished up bream and roach. A consequence of this fishery was clear lake water that in turn improved the recreation area and increased the tourist value. The fish catch was successively used by humans as food. The small fish became an excellent feed for storks in a stork breeding project.
