Can trees freeze? Why are pine needles different lengths? If a slime fungus is not a fungus - then what is? Are you curious about forests and want to know more?
The book takes you on a journey of discovery in the Swedish forest that tickles the reader's desire to go in search of their own curiosities. Through beautiful photos and explanatory words, the reader gets to visit a number of forests and see details and arouse curiosity. Nyfiken på skog is therefore not an all-encompassing fact book that describes the Swedish forest from A to Z. The basic idea of the book is to start from what we come across in the forest, what we have questions about, things we are curious about and want to know more about . What do you see in the forest? Common phenomena, things you don't think about or things you may not be able to formulate a question about or have no one to ask the question to. Curious about forests is a way of making the forest available to more people by spreading tantalizing knowledge about forests to curious people, old and young, forest experienced as well as completely inexperienced.
With the book, the author hopes that the Swedish forest will be made available to more people and that knowledge of the Swedish forest landscape will increase. This is especially important in a society where more and more people live further away from the forest in cities and have a decreasing level of knowledge about the forest, at the same time that the forest takes an increasingly large place in the social debate and research points to the importance of nature for our health and well-being. Sofia Lilja, trained biologist, also has a doctorate in natural geography and landscape analysis, among other things with a focus on the knowledge that exists about forests in old maps. Writes on the Facebook page Nyfiken på skog, which is run by Bergvik Skog Öst AB and today has over 20,000 followers - a page that is for you who are curious about forests and want to know more regardless of who you are, where you are or what you do.
