02 November 2006
Ancient Tree Forum Sverige
Hallstad Ängar, Rimforsa i Östergötland

Vi ska träffas vid parkering plats klockan 11:00.
Teman för mötet ska vara hamling och restaurering av gamlade hamlade träd.
Välkomna!
Kontakt vikki.forbes@pro-natura.net

Mötet är öppet för alla som har intresse eller erfarenhet av gamla träd. Ideen är att vi ska träffas för att utbyta erfarenheter och lärar från varandra för att utveckla skötsel och förståelse för gamla träd.

Pictures of the two habitats that hold the majority of the terrestrial biodiversity in the coastal woodlands in the county of Östergötland: old oak trees in semi-natural grasslands and old pine forests.
