Participate in the Black Stork Nest Weaving Workshop

On Saturday, April 27th, from 12 to 4 PM, there will be a life-sized black stork nest weaving event at the Visitor Centre of Karula National Park in Ähijärve. We invite you to take part of this special workshop!

The black stork is a symbolic bird for Karula National Park, nesting in old forests near suitable fish-rich streams. However, such habitats are becoming increasingly scarce. The black stork is endangered. Even if they manage to return from long migrations to their nests and lay eggs, the chicks may starve because suitable feeding grounds and fish in the vicinity are simply lacking. What can we as humans do beyond just telling this story? In the Route Diverse nest weaving workshop, we invite you to help us create a black stork installation, which celebrates this magnificent bird and invites everyone to think about what can be done to improve the living conditions of the black stork.

Under the guidance of master craftsman Margus Rebane, we will weave a wicker cover for the black stork nest, so everyone can go inside and sense what home feels like. for a black stork. In addition to the black stork nest workshop, three more free nest building workshops will take place in May. Click here for more information.
