How do we ensure the preservation of vibrant nature and a clean environment for future generations? In the Oulu local association of the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation we act locally, but have a big impact.
Would you like to do something for nature with us? We operate on a voluntary basis, and our activities present our current members! Within the framework of the association, you can act in the ways presented below, or invent new ways based on your own abilities and interests.
You are very welcome to get to know the activities at the operative meetings and new members’ evenings organized a few times a year, or you can talk us at our events or ask more info directly from the association board (oulu@sll.fi).
