NATURAMA-Vortrag: God da Tamangur

The God da Tamangur is one of the most famous forests in Switzerland. Located in the Val S-charl, in the south-east of the Swiss National Park, it is considered the highest closed Swiss stone pine forest in Europe. This forest has always fascinated with its scenic beauty. At the same time, over time, a variety of symbolic and cultural meanings have been attributed to it – and time and again it has also played a role in political and social debates. How did these meanings develop? And did the forest and its use change over time? Matthias Bürgi and Susan Lock have investigated these questions in a research project initiated by the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Engiadina Val Müstair. On the evening of the lecture, they will present the most exciting findings from their work.

Speakers:
Matthias Bürgi, Prof. Dr., Head of the Landscape Dynamics Research Unit, Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL
Susan Lock, former WSL employee | The Auditorium Schlossstall of the Swiss National Park is located directly next to the castle. 10 minutes from the train station.
