Our team is particularly interested in how nature contributes to and is used by people, particularly in urban areas. Our focal area is Lade here in Trondheim, where there is a very good mix of both nature, cultural landscape, and people living in and interacting with the landscape. At the same time, such areas are under high pressure for instance for housing development or industry, being easy accessible and close to the city centre. Trondheim municipality is working on a way to protect the area at Lade, but there is a lot of societal, legal and other challenges to get there with local acceptance of any restrictions and regulations that will come with such an area plan. 

We are still in the starting period of the team, but will soon share more of our plans for activities on this site.
