Erasmus+ project brings together young people from different backgrounds from Estonia and, after the restrictions have expired, from the Czech Republic and Poland. The objectives of the study trip are to develop knowledge for young people working in the field on non-timber and ecosystem services in forestry.
The pre-seminar preparation took us to Ando Eelmaa, a landowner who is engaged in nature care activities, whose home farm grows and produces organic meat, keeps heritage sites and deals with forest and rare perennial species in his nursery. Anete Altrov, an environmental planning student at Tallinn University, noted that this was inspiring information because there is no direct forestry study in the field of environmental planning and she hopes that foreign young people will receive the same positive emotion at the end of the summer.
