Throughout the fall of 2024 and the summer of 2026, we hosted a series of critical walks in the ravine landscapes of Lillestrøm municipality in Norway. Through these walks, we aim to spotlight the meaning of ravines in the face of urban development, biodiversity loss, and challenges related to flooding, pollution, and quick clay landslides. Each walk addresses different themes and is directed at landowners, residents, developers and to the municipality.

The project’s goal is to highlight the web of different worlds that form the network of actors who unconsciously gather around the endangered nature type. These walks create opportunities for discussion and reflection on the future of ravines in a time marked by climate change and increased development pressure. By collaborating with experts, the local community, and decision-makers, we hope to foster a deeper understanding of the significance of ravines.
