About the event
The nonprofit Rissa Citizen Science and the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) are partnering on a research project to reduce the negative environmental and social impacts of Northern Nights tourism in Tromsø, with a particular focus on campfires.
One part of this project is to engage travelers in mapping campfires and restoring nature in locations used by Northern Lights hunters.
Join us for a day trip around Kvaløya (the Whale Island), and volunteer to map and remove campfires while exploring fjords, mountains and beaches in some of the most beautiful areas around Tromsø.
Pickup time: 10:00
Return time: 14:30
More about the project here on Rissa CS' website,
and on NINA's website.
Note that this is not a commercial tour: this project is an opportunity to raise awareness and promote leave-no-trace practices in nature.
