Bobrunna Gård has been granted SEK 100,000 in support for a feasibility study with the aim of developing an action plan and establishing an association to run and create a public forest garden. Part of the granted support will also be used to arrange free lectures and workshops open to the public. The initiative aims to engage the community and spread knowledge to inspire local initiatives around food production and ecosystem services.
Come to Skyttorp and be inspired by 3 inspiring speakers - completely free of charge!
We are pleased to share the news of three free lectures organized by Bobrunna Farm, as part of their effort to spread knowledge and engage society around sustainable food production and rural development.
Address: Knypplanvägen 11, Skyttorp, Uppsala Municipality
The lecture is free but registration is required. More info and link to registration form here: https://bobrunna.se/#Evenemang
