FFINE

We have now picked a theme for the NERM of 2010; “Future Forest Of Northern Europe”, shortened as FFINE. We will arrange meetings with some of Sweden’s largest forest companies and visit a Science Park. The program will contain culture aspects as well as scientific ones. The meeting will have its start on Monday, October 4th, with a dinner and a chance to get to know each other before we, on Tuesday, start our adventure with a bus trip in the northern parts of Sweden. The journey will end in Umeå on Saturday morning, October 9th, but we’re hoping to being able to offer a place to sleep if your staying will extend till Sunday.

We want to let you have a chance to really experience the beauty of the nature in Sweden and are planning something fun for us to do together, perhaps a hike in the mountains. Does that sound fun to you?

Is there anything you would like to experience when in Sweden? Please do give us comments!

Best regards

Hilma

days of the Swedish autumn

Birches look like this in October if the frost shows up on time

…other places aren’t that privileged. But either way they do have a beauty of their own.

In the autumn the forest turns into a place where you can find all sorts of delights. We begin to collect the accessories we later will offer at the upcming dinners. Chanterelles for stew..

…and cloudberries for jam and dessert.

It will be fantastic meals if you get to bring the delights all the way home… or you could just stay in the nature.

All the best//
