Description
We will start the program at 14:00 on arrival day (check in from 13:00). We start with visiting the Bear Research Exhibition in Kvarnberg and continue with a slide talk about the most important studies and results that we conduct in the Scandinavian Brown Bear Research Project. Later on we will enter into wilderness and search for bear tracks and visit a bear den. Here we provide lots of information about the hibernation abilities, strategies and behavior of the wildlife bears in this area. We will round up this excursion with dinner at a scenic spot out in wild at a camp fire. During the evening, the guests have access to the conference house and the fire place. After breakfast next day we will visit the field station of the Scandinavian Brown Bear Research Project, get coordinates from recent bear plots and leave for field research with data collecting and sample taking. This is hands on and you will experience the work of a researcher. Lunch outside in the wild. We will be back to Kvarnberg during afternoon. In early evening we will prepare dinner together and afterwards there is time to try the wood fired sauna that is well hidden in the forest behind the cabins.
