You are all invited to join the action for the environment by the University of Helsinki and its partners on the university environmental week!

This planting is an environmental action that the UH has committed to as the students have made their own environmental commitments during the Reduce a Ton campaign.
This event is paired with the planting of berry bushes in Viikki on Monday 7 October. http://ilmastoinfo.fi/en/reduce-a-ton/
