Nature Guides Stockholm (english)

Take the chance to get to know Stockholm from a different perspective – explore the wonderful nature that surrounds the capital of Sweden together with the nature guides of Greater Stockholm. The guides are part of the Stockholm branch of the largest environmental organization in Sweden, Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC).

2010 is appointed as the year of biodiversity – and Stockholm is chosen as the Green Capital of EU. Join the nature guides and let them show you the green Stockholm and the biodiversity that hides in the city. Experience the trees, birds, flowers that are found even in the most built up areas.

But we urge you to also get to know the wonderful area that surrounds the city of Stockholm. Just outside of the city you will find vast and beautiful forests, large open meadows full with flowers, lakes and much more. Ancient monuments and remains from settlements are demonstrations of the exciting history of the area. The history is also revealed in the landscape that has been molded by people since the Stone Age.

All guides are authorized by Stockholm Visitors Board and have at least a university degree in biology, ecology, geology or similar. Some of them are also authorized in English.

You are also welcomed to join already scheduled excursions, but you can also book your own excursion by contacting Maria Bergström who is the manager of the guide program.
