Restoring Tundra Damage in the Fjords

Make your adventure count and give back to our local ecosystems. Join the nonprofit Wild Lab Projects and help mapping the tundra damage and encourage nature-friendly behaviours. Come with us for a day like no other. You'll be helping to map the tundra damage caused by wild campfires, all while exploring the fjords and enjoying the Arctic landscape. You'll also experience & participate in this citizen science initiative with Wild Lab Projects' educator, where you'll have the opportunity to make valuable observations. Following a standardized methodology, you will provide much-needed data to protect tundra in our region. After the collection, that data is uploaded to our research partners' database, where they'll use it to learn 

After our science contribution is done, we can lay back & enjoy the homemade snack we have prepared for you. This is the most ethical trip for you to experience the extraordinary nature of Northern Norway.
