Nature walk #1: The bog and time Vintervassmyra with Peggy Zinke
21 September, 5pm–6pm
1 November, 1pm–2.30pm
Meet up at Skistua's parking lot
On this first nature walk we will visit Vintervassmyra in Trondheims Bymarka. The trip offers an introduction to bog knowledge, peat types and the influences of Vintervassmyra over time. We will also use our senses and have some conversations about how we experience this bog surface that sits high above the city.
