More about the project
The project aims to develop an educational and informative walking trail at Huseby Bruk, in collaboration with the Knowledge Centre for Forest and Water. For this purpose, a small woodland area in close proximity to Huseby Bruk has been selected, where the forest has remained largely untouched since the 1950s. The area is characterised by a high diversity of habitats and successional stages, particularly various phases of overgrowth on former grazing land.
The trail will illustrate how different habitats and tree species establish and evolve over time in southern Swedish forest ecosystems. It will serve as a place for learning, inspiration, and dialogue about forest dynamics, and will be used for education, research, and collaboration with, for example, schools, the public, and other societal stakeholders.
The project is part of the research in the research group Forest Management and the Linnaeus Knowledge Environment: Green Sustainable Development.
What is a seed project?
A seed project is a minor project funded by a knowledge environment or a research group at the university. The aim is to launch and promote excellent research. Depending on the financier, a seed project may be to idenfify new or deepen existing collaborations, preferably cross-disciplinary ones, to explore possible research issues in a feasibility study, to collect empirical material, or to write an application for external funding.
