A Responsible Walk in Nature is Desirable, Precaution is a Must!

Taking into account the restrictions on the movement and gathering of people imposed in the country, JSC “Latvia's State Forests” (LVM) encourages everyone to take a leisurely stroll in a forest, choosing new tourism destinations to enjoy the spring, which is just around the corner. It is important to observe all the precautions also in LVM's most popular tourist sites such as observation towers, bunkers, hiking trails in forests and swamps, observation platforms and recreational areas.

To avoid a large number of people attending the most popular places of recreation, we encourage you to discover trails yet unknown and visit more remote tourism objects in areas managed by LVM. More than 350 well-equipped recreation areas can be found in the LVM GEO app, which will make sure that you do not get lost. Moreover, visiting and exploring these more remote routes can become a new family tradition for holidays, looking for spring messengers and enjoying the picturesque forest landscapes. Share any rarities found in nature in your social networks using the hashtag #stayathome.

To enjoy the beauty of nature at home, we offer #stayathome activity: watch the “nature series” in the swamp through on-line cameras and keep track of the events taking place in two nests of lesser spotted eagles and one nest of golden eagles, where you will definitely see the main characters -  golden eagle couple Spilve and Virsis - quite often.

Currently, the Covid-19 virus pandemic does not threaten LVM core business: sustainable management of state-owned forests, providing the flow of wood and subterranean resources for the Latvian economy, growing quality seedlings for reforestation, and providing forest protection.
