Into Nature – the Ekkodalen Bogs.

The major restoration of Ekkodalen's bogs and meadows was completed in 2020, and a remarkable variety of animal and plant life is now beginning to establish itself. The major restoration of Ekkodalen's bogs and meadows was completed in 2020, and a remarkable variety of animal and plant life is now beginning to establish itself. We will visit the area and talk about how to restore nature on former farmland—something Denmark will need to become exceptionally good at if its ambition of protecting 30% of its natural areas is to be met. The two highly experienced biologists, Morten DD Hansen and Michael Stoltze, have extensive experience with nature restoration projects. They will explain how nature can return after centuries, or perhaps millennia, of farming, and we will look at what has been achieved in the Ekkodalen bogs after just a few years of restoration work. Wear suitable clothing and footwear. If the weather is very poor, the event will be cancelled and the fee refunded. Any cancellation will be announced on our website and on NaturBornholm's website.
