RMK’s new website 23.09
RMK’s updated homepage will devote
more attention than before to providing information about recreation
opportunities in the Estonian wilderness. The search system (in Estonian) that
has been created will help to find readily hiking trails, huts, campsites and
other recreation sites constructed in the wilderness in the area of choice.
From this year on, besides its 13
recreation areas, RMK also organises visits to
„Estonians love hiking in the
wilderness, and RMK will do all on its part to make the information on
opportunities on offer simply and readily available, “ said Marge Rammo, Head
of the Nature Management Department at RMK, stating the reasons for the
creation of the search system. „We invite people into the wilderness yet bring
it to their attention that for outings you should opt for areas prepared for
that. It is convenient for the hiker and sustainable for the natural
environment. “
Besides background information on

hiker, forest management, timber sales, plants and seeds, hunting and heritage
culture.
The new webpage will run on Edicy,

„The making of the new RMK webpage
was an exciting challenge also because of a change in the angle of approach.
The previous website seven years old was somewhat static and focused on
official information. The primary object of the newly completed webpage –
provide first and foremost information about those RMK services relevant to the
average person – provided an opportunity to create a new, ludic and colourful
webpage. “
