Hans Stoops is a project manager with responsibility for mountain biking and bicycle tourism at Cykelfrämjandet, Sweden's cycling advocacy organisation. For the past few years he has been advocating for the design and construction of sustainable trails for outdoor recreation in a project supported by "Svenskt Friluftsliv".
Nannie Fredrikson is a mountain guide and accessibility consultant. After a serious accident in the mountains she changed the focus on her work to primarily working with the challenge of making nature more accessible for people with various disabilities. She lectures and writes on this subject as well as nature's healing properties. She also performs on-site inventories and proposes solutions for increased accessibility on hiking trails and at fishing camps, bird watching towers etc. She is passionate about giving everyone the possibility to enjoy nature.
This event is hosted by Leader Sjö, Skog & Fjäll, Sweden, in partnership with the Community Woodlands Association, Scotland
