In the last week of May 2018 we got the opportunity to make a great field trip to Finland. We were invited to the Hyytiala Forestry Field station, where prof. Harri Vasander of Helsinki University showed us a wide variety of bog types. It was great to get a good impression of what pristine peatlands actually look like - we hardly have those in the Netherlands anymore! 

Many thanks to prof. Harri Vasander and dr. Satu Koivisto for organising this workshop, to and Johanna Roiha and Juuso Koskinen for their very pleasant company. So check out our photo impression … but we really recommend to take a look there yourself!
