Into Nature – The Wetlands of Ekkodalen. A walk with Morten DD Hansen and Michael Stoltze
In 2020, the major restoration of Ekkodalen’s wetlands and meadows was completed, and a remarkable variety of plant and animal life is now beginning to establish itself.
We visit the area and talk about how nature can be restored on former agricultural land – something Denmark will need to become exceptionally good at if the ambition of protecting 30% of its natural areas is to be achieved.
The two highly experienced biologists, Morten DD Hansen and Michael Stoltze, have extensive experience with nature restoration projects. They will explain how nature can return after centuries, or perhaps even millennia, of farming, and we will see what has already been achieved in the wetlands of Ekkodalen after just a few years of restoration work.
Please wear suitable clothing and footwear for the weather and terrain. If the weather is particularly severe, the event will be cancelled and the participation fee refunded. Any cancellation will be announced on our website and on NaturBornholm’s website.
Participation fee: DKK 90

Fungi are fascinating. They can be microscopically small or spread across more than 9 km². They are found in forests, in our homes, in food – and even in your own body! Come and explore the remarkable world of fungi. Using a stereo microscope and a microscope, we will examine small fungi and lichens. We will also talk about the role fungi play in nature and how they are used in medicine, cosmetics, cooking and construction.

How do we know that dinosaurs, plesiosaurs or trilobites lived on Bornholm millions of years ago, and how do we find traces of them? We will talk about the fascinating prehistoric animals that we know only from fossils and about how fossils are formed. Using real fossils as inspiration, you can shape your own prehistoric animal in a material from the past – clay – and then make a plaster cast of it to take home.
