LVM Forests Days are Open for Applications

To experience an informative and a bit unusual spring day in the forest, JSC “Latvia's State Forests” (LVM) encourages everyone interested to apply for LVM Open Forest Days events and participate in forest clean-up, recreation and landscaping in all LVM regions.

“Forest planting, which was historically the main activity of the Forest Days, has now been replaced by forest exploration activities - looking at what is happening in the forest, what it has to offer and how to behave for the recreation in nature to be pleasant and enjoyable. Participants of the Forest Days have an opportunity to see, explore, feel and do things together with experienced foresters. The Open Forest Days have become a celebration where nature friends come together and spend time in the fresh air, tidying up and improving their surroundings, gaining new knowledge about the forest industry,” says Edmunds Linde, LVM Silviculture Planning Manager.

LVM Open Forest Days events are offered free of charge. Participants should organise their own transportation to the venue and some snacks to maintain energy, as well as clothing suitable for forest expedition, and work gloves. Please apply for the event in a timely manner, as the number of places is limited.
