Estonian Nature Tours (ENT) is supporting a study tour, drawn among applicants for Natura subsidy


“SA Erametsakeskus” (Forest Centre) in cooperation with Estonian Fund for Nature was drawing via e-PRIA four lucky Natura subsidy applicants, who can participate with a companion in a study trip to Flying Squirrel habitats.
The study trip is supported by Estonian Nature Tours and supervised by a wellknown zoologist Uudo Timm and a mycologist Indrek Sell. Uudo Timm is presenting the results of research work of more than 20 years. He is also describing the conditions of Flying Squirrels in Estonia, explaining their needs for habitat and revealing the restrictions of forest management in relevant forest sites.
Indrek Sell is taking the participants to the kingdom of fungi of old-growth forests while other characteristic species and natural values will hopefully be seen.
The prize trip will take place in July 12 this year.
The winners are: Aivar Lambing, Heino Ige, Celia Roose and Rein Ruut. Congrats!

Estonian Nature Tours is caring, having supported Flying Squirrel research work since 2010 and the Young Conservationist Award since 2005.
