In the Finnish language, tunne luonto refers both to “knowing nature” and “feeling nature.” In our interactive Tunneluonto walk, Maija Hirvanen and I invited participants to reflect on the relationship between knowledge and sensation in their experience of nature.
The tour was originally planned for Vartiosaari and the Helsinki Botanical Garden, but it can be adapted to different environments. The walk was part of Maija Hirvanen’s Walkapolis walking series in 2016.
