Metsäkeskus has chosen Retkipaika as a new partner for the Koli Nature Centre Uko’s service activities. Metsähallitus put the organisation of the nature centre’s operations out to tender in the autumn.
With the partnership, Uko Nature Centre’s hiking advice and customer service, shop, exhibition guiding and conference activities will move to Retkipaika. The partnership will last for five years.
For two years now, the campsite has also been responsible for similar activities at the Finnish Nature Centre Haltija in Nuuksio.
The excursion site will start operating the Koli nature center Uko during March. From the beginning, the Retkipaikka will offer the basic services of the nature center.
In the future, Metsähallitus will continue to be responsible for the functional entirety of the Koli nature center Uko, including the property, nature education and communication materials, as well as the development of the basic exhibition.
Metsähallitus will continue to take care of the Nature Center’s changing exhibitions in cooperation with Koli Culture Association.
