Nature in Espoo
For a city of its size, Espoo still has exceptionally large and diverse natural areas of great value. In southern Espoo, the landscape is defined by the Baltic Sea and its coastline, while northern Espoo is characterised by its imposing deep forests and mires. The meadows tell the story of Espoo’s long agricultural history.
Safeguarding biodiversity in Espoo
Espoo wants to take care of its diverse nature and valuable waters as the city grows. You can also act for biodiversity!
Projects
In the Nature-wise Espoo project, we will determine how we can better secure and increase biodiversity. A roadmap which defines biodiversity preservation goals and actions will be created as a result.
The multi-year project promotes the protection of the flying squirrel in cooperation with various actors. The project focuses on strengthening the habitats of the flying squirrel, sharing information and studying flying squirrel behaviour in urban environments.
