Our delegates are cordially invited to the half-day conference tour to the Sustainable Forestry in the forest in the so-called Oslomarka. Marka is the name of the forested and hilly areas surrounding Oslo, Norway. Though not designated a borough of Oslo, it is a major recreational area for the population of Oslo, and development in the area is for the most part prohibited. Despite being used frequently by many inhabitants of Oslo, especially at weekends, the fauna of marka includes species such as lynx, wolf, beaver, mooseand roe deer.
