About the project
The project Slätbergets naturstig (Slätberget nature trail), was launched in September 2024, with the goal of creating a nature trail in Västankvarn, Ingå, to provide a place for recreation in nature as well as serve an educational purpose. The project targets the public, including permanent and holiday residents, tourists, researchers, and school students. The nature trail is located on Västankvarn farm's land, extending from Söderlandsvägen up towards Slätberget. The trail covers diverse terrain, featuring a mire, a mountain area, an intriguing rocky outcrop, an old-growth forest, and a hazel grove and a wetland.Project goal
In addition to offering a place for recreation and exercise, the aim of the nature trail is to inform about current environmental and climate issues. It serves as a platform to inform visitors about various habitats, significant species, and related environmental concerns. The trail will provide information on how we can contribute to a more sustainable environment. Information signs in Swedish, Finnish, and English will be placed along the route, and a dedicated webpage with more details about the trail will be launched.UN's Sustainable Development Goals
