Excited to be all confirmed for the 2025 SAFE field season! We will be spending 6 weeks out and about across the Fennoscandia Arctic treeline looking at all things trees and shrubs 🌲🌳🛰️📏 Our team of three will be going out to Abisko, Sweden first and then departing for Norway and Finland!

We started fieldwork last summer in Abisko, Sweden where we sampled an elevational gradient from the forest edge but missed out on getting to the treeline edge!
