Make your adventure count and give back to our local ecosystems. Join the nonprofit Wild Lab Projects and help mapping the tundra damage and encourage nature-friendly behaviours. Come with us for a day like no other. You'll be helping to map the tundra damage caused by wild campfires, all while exploring the fjords and enjoying the Arctic landscape. You'll also experience & participate in this citizen science initiative with Wild Lab Projects' educator, where you'll have the opportunity to make valuable observations. Following a standardized methodology, you will provide much-needed data to protect tundra in our region. After the collection, that data is uploaded to our research partners' database, where they'll use it to learn

After our science contribution is done, we can lay back & enjoy the homemade snack we have prepared for you. This is the most ethical trip for you to experience the extraordinary nature of Northern Norway.

- Information about the meeting location: The pick-up location is in front of the Scandic Ishavhotel for all Wild Lab Projects activities and projects. Directions can be found here. There is no Wild Lab Projects signage but it's easy to find. We ask that you arrive 5 - 10 minutes early, please arrive on time - we can not delay the departure for participants that fail to arrive on time. Our facilitators will arrive 5 minutes before the departure time because the vehicle can not be standing in this parking zone for longer than 10 minutes. If there is snow or traffic, the facilitators might be slightly delayed.
