Today is the last day of February and I sum up my five encounters with otters during this month in Uppland, Sweden. If there is ice on rivers and lakes during this month it is the best time to spot otters. They often come up on the ice to eat their prey, or they have […]Read Post ›

I have put together a small booklet about forests in the provins of Uppland in Sweden. Be prepared of some critisism of forestry in my country, but the main purpose is to mediate inspiration for own exploration of some of the remaining real forests. The booklet consisting of 28 pages can be ordered by matswilhelm@teila.com […]Read Post ›
