The forest is understood here as a space with its laws and spatial compositions with immediate influence on humans. Saturday, 15 October, 12 pm Tour with Gražina Banienė
Meeting point: Nida Art Colony, E. A. Jonušo g. 3, Nida
This Saturday, 12 pm, forester Gražina Banienė talks about the people working in forestry, why the mountain pine growth is controlled and shows how the restored forest looks like, how it is protected and grown. Flipping through the old Curonian Spit maps one can notice that a couple hundred years ago there weren't any forests on the Curonian Spit. It appeared only due to the hard work and care of people. Does the history and life of the forest end with it's planting, and does nature take over caring for it? Certainly not, but perhaps the willingness to get along with nature leads to the fact that the work of the foresters is not always noticed, and sometimes falls into the eye.
