Woodhenge of Tampere

A massive amount of linden trunks cut and piled during the tram construction of Tampere. This is the idea to use them. A Woodhenge.

The nature conservation association Wild Zone made a sketch of how the idea would be implemented. More than 50 linden trunks were used for this woodhenge as the city of Tampere made this installation.

The artificial tree concentration of deciduous trees serves as a monitoring site for biodiversity: what decaying fungi, insects and birds it manages to attract. Decaying trees can prevent endangerment of species.

- This is a model example of how a lot of decaying wood can be left in one place in one fell swoop. For example, we follow dwarfs, mosses, lichens and insects. They benefit a lot from decaying deciduous tree trunks.
 
It seems that someone was flying a drone there as I passed by with my husband. The Woodhenge it along the way to Hervanta, where our son lives. Tonight our daughter asked us to drive her there for a night visit, so I got this nice shot (when hubby driving).
