Are you curious about Swedish nature and want to learn more about animal tracking? Then this is the perfect opportunity! With a bit of luck and curiosity, we’ll spend the day piecing together the winter stories of Uppland’s wildlife.

Join Biotopia on a tracking tour in Säva! There is a wonderful mixed habitat area featuring open arable and pastoral fields, woodlands, and rough land with rivers and waterways networking through the landscape. Due to this mix of habitats a great variety of species make this area their home. Previously we've found tracks of boar, various deer species, foxes, beavers, martens and lynx! We've also seen several birds of prey and song birds enjoying the seasons.

We will meet at Säva and follow a gentle route of around 5 km through a variety of these habitats, we will look in the snow for tracks and around the landscape for any signs of who has been in the area, and what they were doing. As well as walking around we will take some time scoping or spotting from high points, overlooking some of the open fields we can possibly see deer and foxes moving about.

Meet at Säva busstop. Take bus 804 that leaves Uppsala Central Bus stations C4 at 09:55.

Dress warmly and bring

  • packed lunch, snacks and drinks such as water or coffee.
  • binoculars or camera if you like. There are some binoculars to borrow.
