Dear LIFE community!

We are delighted to invite you to join us for the annual Nordic-Baltic LIFE nature conservation platform meeting in September 8-10, 2026 at Vihula Manor Country Club & SPA, located in Lahemaa National Park on the Northern coast of Estonia.

Over three days, we will share our stories, experiences and challenges of nature protection as well as inspire each other to continue the LIFE journey. One full day will be dedicated to field trips, where we will visit rivers, wetlands, forests and meadows to learn about nature restoration activities and meet local farmers, producers, innovators and conservationists.

Registration and booking for the accommodation will open in April 2026.

Transport from Tallinn to Vihula is organised in the morning of 8th of September and back to Tallinn in the afternoon of 10th of September.

Save the date and come to explore one of the most fascinating nature areas of Estonia and meet fellow colleagues from LIFE network!

We warmly welcome you to Estonia and encourage you to contact us at lifenordicbaltic@kliimaministeerium.ee should you have any future inquiries.

On behalf of the LIFE project teams of Estonia
