However, for us people of the forest, the forest is not just a habitat, it is folklore about a living and interactive world, where every tree, plant, animal, stone and cloud speaks, if only one slows down to listen. The forest overflows with rich life and different sensory worlds. Understanding the value of a diverse forest is indeed a large part of our cultural heritage. Forests, their growth and their trees are associated with a huge amount of knowledge and stories from more than one just generation, telling us about who we are, where our roots are.
The Metsä exhibition is Lokal’s comment on the value of respecting forests. We hope that through the exhibition you will discover the forest’s heritage in yourself, enjoying its magical powers.
