At the center of \u00c5fallet are climate adaptation, biodiversity and pedagogy. \u00c5fallet Skogstr\u00e4dg\u00e5rd is run by Elin and Viktor S\u00e4fve and their family. At \u00c5fallet they are engaged in self-sufficiency and are testing on a small scale different establishment techniques and hypotheses about the establishment of forest gardens. A forest garden is a food-producing ecosystem, dominated by perennial plants with edible plant parts. A layered system with everything from tall and low fruit and nut trees, to berry bushes, perennial herbs, ground cover, root vegetables and climbing plants. The goal is multiple-use gardens that both produce food, bind carbon, increase resilience and benefit biodiversity.      <\/p>\n\n<p>NB! There is a beautiful lake within walking distance (500 m) from the festival site. Bring swimwear!  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/festivalen2024a-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/festivalen2024a-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/festivalen2024a-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/festivalen2024a-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/festivalen2024a-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/festivalen2024a-2048x1280.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/festivalen2024a-370x231.jpg 370w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/festivalen2024a-840x525.jpg 840w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/festivalen2024a-410x256.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The entrance and parts of the campsite.

No one can be still when Balkan music is played.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Mullin Mallin Band plays catchy party music from the Balkans, but also has more evocative songs in their repertoire. Sometimes wild and crazy, sometimes with longing melancholy. It&#8217;s music from different parts of the world, music for love, pain and insane joy! Joy of life in music format, quite simply.   <\/p>\n\n<p>The band consists of nine people who offer powerful vocals and play violin, bass, bouzouki, electric guitar, accordion, clarinet and various percussion instruments such as darbouka, djembe, davul and cajun.  <br\/><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullinmallin.se\">The band&#8217;s website<\/a><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"944\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img-2051-944x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img-2051-944x1024.jpeg 944w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img-2051-276x300.jpeg 276w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img-2051-768x834.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img-2051-1415x1536.jpeg 1415w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img-2051-370x402.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img-2051-840x912.jpeg 840w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img-2051-410x445.jpeg 410w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/img-2051.jpeg 1887w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 944px) 100vw, 944px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>IZHAV<\/strong> Photo: Novalie Ljungvide<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>IZHAV<\/p>\n\n<p>Izabelle Nor\u00e9n Nielsen (IZHAV) writes lyrics and music in the genre of pop\/folk\/indie that touches on big emotions and universal human thoughts.

Skogsmonitor is a map service that creates better conditions for locating the forests that have the highest conservation values, and the landscape sections where there are concentrations of potential older forest and continuity forest that can be or are forests with high conservation values. This is the basis for functional landscape planning, something that helps forest managers in their nature conservation work: individual forest owners, municipalities, forest companies and authorities, etc. But it is also a map for outdoor life, and for anyone who wants to explore the natural heritage of the north and enjoy the beauty and diversity of Sweden&#8217;s most natural and magnificent forests.   <\/p>\n\n<p>About the lecturer:<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Jon Andersson<\/strong> is a project manager, data developer, animator and illustrator at <a href=\"http:\/\/skogsmonitor.se\/\">Skogsmonitor.se<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>Jon is a GIS expert, forest expert, conservationist and Ph.D. in biology.

He is particularly known for his extensive trialling of perennial vegetables (over 6,000) and for having created a salad with 537 different species! His many megasalads, a winter salad with 140, a ferment with 412 plants, a pesto with 230 types of onion are all inspired by traditional Mediterranean multi-species dishes, earning him the title &#8220;Extreme Salad Man&#8221;. Since retiring he has also created The World Garden in the V\u00e6res Venner Community Garden in Trondheim, showcasing over 200 perennial vegetables and is busy documenting the amazing biodiversity associated with his plant collections!     <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/foto-goran.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66510\" style=\"width:870px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/foto-goran.jpg 576w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/foto-goran-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/foto-goran-370x493.jpg 370w, https:\/\/skyddaskogen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/foto-goran-410x547.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">G\u00f6ran Englund<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>Lecture: <strong>The forest and the climate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>How does forestry affect the climate? It is an important, relevant and interesting research area. Research shows that reduced felling levels would provide immediate and cost-effective climate benefits. G\u00f6ran Englund and his colleagues have made calculations that show that the climate benefits would be great if felling levels were to decrease. At the same time, there are other researchers who claim the opposite. Why do different researchers come to such different conclusions?

There will be several exciting sessions during the weekend for children and families with children. -Participate, play, learn and discover!  <br\/><br\/>Among other things, we will explore life in the pond, in rice piles, in the forest garden and in the surrounding forest. We test different methods of collecting animals and plants to take a closer look at them and think about why they live\/grow here and if they have any exciting special abilities. We use magnifiers and binoculars, flip through books and try some useful apps to find out what we have found, if possible. Inspired by what we find, we can also create with natural materials and play games. During the festival&#8217;s Bioblitz, there is also the opportunity to join the Children&#8217;s Arrace.    <br\/><br\/><strong>Sara Antell<\/strong><br\/>I was raised in the big city but understood early on that I had to get my dose of forest and sea to feel good.
