LUP on local commitment to nature

Friluftsrådet has granted 1.9 million DKK to research and testing of methods on how the municipalities can be involved in supporting the outdoor life in the countryside. The focus is on both the volunteers, who are formally organized in associations and community councils, and on unorganized volunteers who launch or participate in activities.

It is the project’s starting point that the organization of the local engagement in nature and outdoor life to a large extent takes place entirely at a local level and that it possesses a particularly inclusive, dialogue- and community-based value. An organizational form and method which present a challenge and potential for both national outdoor organizations and their local association as well as for the municipalities.

The results of the project are disseminated through reports, idea catalogue, local and regional medias, newsletters etc.

The main responsibles for the project are be Pia Heike Johansen and Annette Aagaard Thuesen.
