Function: Natural events, phenology

Natural events and seasonal changes in phenology of species are natural attractions that tempt people to observe nature. Such events and changes are for example autumn foliage, spring and autumn migration of birds, first snow, coming in the leaf of trees and breaking up of ice in rivers. Also, for example, berry and mushroom seasons are quite cherished amongst the Finns.

Most recreational visits in nature do not, however, relate to a specific natural event but are more focused on just being in the midst of nature and perhaps observing the small characteristics of each season and the year cycle.
