Ahhaa, now into forest!Model forestTo vaccinate or not? That is the question!

he forest exhibition aims to find the balance between the nature and humans, between the nature and human actions. Discover the size and nature of your footprint!

Similarly to the way we leave behind a footprint while walking barefoot on soft ground, we also leave behind a trace of our actions while being in the forest. This trace, our "footprint" could represent both the money-craved actions of forest managers as well as the inability to take any action at all since both of these choices leave a trace.

Make your choice and take the decisive step: try to manage or avoid managing the forest – in this roleplay you will become the master of the forest who will get to decide what its future will be like.

By moving around in the forest exhibition set up in the shape of a footprint you can try to find an answer to the question of what your footprint in the forest might look like. How can you impact the people around you, the development of the economy, the delicate balance of the state and the nature by managing the forest or by deciding not to manage the forest?

The exhibition titled "Our Footprints in the Forest" („Jälg metsas“) was initiated by the Nature Preservation Department of the Estonian State Forest Management Centre (RMK) and built with the support of both the state as well as the private forest sector. The concept was drawn up by the curator of the exhibition, Triinu Saetalu. The footprints in the forest have been made more visible and tangible by the amazing, thematic, loom-vowen rag carpets made by carpet artist Külli Laidla, which imitate the balance of nature. The worlds seen on the installations have been put together by MS Filmid. The exhibition was designed by OÜ Cirkus and the materials edited by Ann Marvet.
