(The event has already happened)
Upplandsbygd Locally Led Development has planned a project workshop and inspiration day where we will gather to explore and shape the future of sustainable forestry. We will discuss the possibility of initiating a future Leader project and gain insights from knowledgeable lecturers in the field of forestry.
An opportunity for foresters, enthusiasts, associations, landowners, and academics to contribute their knowledge and experience. Everyone is welcome to be partners in the projects that may be started, and it is important to understand that there are opportunities to seek financial support for these projects through cooperation with Upplandsbygd Lokalt ledd Utveckling.
To guide us through this exciting day, we have invited two knowledgeable speakers and experts in the field: Bonnie Nilzon from Naturkulturförmedlingen and author and journalist from Sunnansjö Gård, Ann-Helen von Meyer. Their insights will open up discussions about how we can balance economic goals with social and environmentally friendly methods.
