Wildlife & habitat stewardship · Latvia
Keeping Latvia's forests whole, for the wildlife that lives in them and the people who follow.
For decades our members have walked the same woodland tracks around Jūrmala and the Rīga coast — counting, recording, restoring and teaching. We work so that ecological balance is not an idea, but a daily practice.

What our partners say
“Their census records are among the most consistent we receive. Year after year, the same care and the same honesty.”
“Our pupils came back from the forest day talking about tracks, habitats and respect for animals. That is real education.”
“Jaktskalniņš members were the first to volunteer when we needed hands to restore the wetland margin. Reliable people.”
