In the heart of the forest

Wood, science and wellbeing research group participated in organizing science camp for the children at Viikki Arboretum

On June 17th 2025, the children were taken to the Viikki Arboretum on a science camp to explore the forest using all their senses. How do trees adapt even when growing on rocks? What do spruce sprouts taste like? Is the sound of rain under the shelter of trees pleasant or dull? Are there good scents to be found among the plants?
