Geocache Description:

Siljansfors

Siljansfors försökspark inrättades 1921 och är den äldsta av de försöksparker som tillhör skogsvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet. Syftet med försöksparkerna är att kunna koncentrera långsiktiga försök till noga undersökta och beskrivna områden med kontinuerlig tillsyn.

Siljansfors kombinerar vacker natur med spännande historik. En webb av naturstigar som lovar härliga vandringar och fina upplevelser har sitt nav utanför skogsmuseet ...

Siljansfors Experimental Forest was established in 1921 and is the oldest of the experimenatal forest facilities belonging to the Faculty of Forest Sciences at Sweden's University of Agricultural Sciences. The purpose of these experimental forests is to allow a concentrated establishment of long term trials at well investigated and described sites under continuous supervision.

For those who would like to come in to the forest and learn more there are several different forestry trails beginning from and returning to the forestry museum. The trails are well marked and have informative signs placed at key locations. Some trails explore natural aspects and others cultural topics. One trail explores the forestry lifecycle from planting, through cutting to harvesting. For younger children there is a special nature trail. Trails range from 1 to 5 km. Across the main road from the museum is an arboretum (tree park) on a site of 1,5 ha. There we have planted over 70 different tree species since 1994 and it makes an interesting part of a visit to Siljansfors.
