    This is our first day on site. Swedish students have been working to prepare the visit. ​​​

    All  Swedish students in grades 8 and 9 go to Karlberg recreation area with the visiting students to learn about the species typical for boreal forests.

     

    Especially trees, berries and flowers 

    After the walk. the group spends a joint meal in the forests and students get to know each other in person in a relaxed atmosphere.

    This area is a typical Swedish forest with footpath.  It is surrounded mainly by red pines and it is easy to find berries and flowers. 

    There is also a little wet area.
