Official felling-free season has begun 18.05

Beginning on 15 May, for those moving around in nature across Estonia, 23 RMK information desks are now open, providing expert advice and information materials on trails in nature and other recreation sites and natural features. From 15 May to 15 September, RMK information desks are open from 10.00 – 20.00 on weekdays.

“Great weather is attracting increasing numbers of people into the forest; when planning leisure time in nature, it definitely pays to also stop by RMK information desks or do your homework in advance on our webpage,” said Marge Rammo, Head of the Recreation Management Department at RMK. “There, you can get help to plan your route, test your nature awareness and join the ‘In Cahoots with the Woods’ club of forest friends.”

Last year, there were 62 600 visits to RMK information desks during the summer season; all together, recreation areas, national parks and nature conservation areas in the state forest received 1.45 million visits in 2009.

RMK’s 23 information desks are located across Estonia, mostly at the centres of RMK’s recreation areas or conservation areas. Detailed information on opportunities for leisure in nature in Estonia is available at http://www.rmk.ee/subject-headings/for-hikers
