The base for the soundcamp is a cabin at Palupõhja looduskool (Northern School of Nature) in the Alam-Pedja Nature Reserve. Alam-Pedja is the largest nature reserve in Estonia: 'a vast wilderness area which covers 342 km2 (85,000 acres) and consists of a complex of 5 large bogs separated by unregulated rivers, their floodplains, and extensive forests. The nature reserve aims to protect diverse ecosystems and rare species, mainly through preserving the natural development of forests and bogs and securing the continuing management of semi-natural floodplain grasslands..' 'Alam-Pedja is the most important breeding area for great snipe in Estonia and the Baltic countries. The greater spotted eagle is another threatened bird species breeding in the area.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alam-Pedja_Nature_Reserve |
