Mats is a Swedish forester, gentle-giant, poet and nature guide - your co-walker.  If you are looking for an unusual place to stay then Mats' wooden chalet at tree-top height could be the place for you.  Meeting Mats for a walk through the woods is an unforgettable experience - he encourages you to open your senses to the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of nature - large and micro!

 

The whole body
Eyes can see and ears can hear,
but the hands know best how to touch,
and the skin knows best when someone is near.
Use the whole body to learn.

If we will learn anything about our Earth,
words aren’t enough.
We have to get close to it.
Use the whole body to learn.

 

Text: Someone unknown in Sweden
Lyrics: Lars Eklund, Burseryd Sweden, in May 2005

Background: Mats på Höjden = Mats on the Hill, met a group of farm entrepreneurs from Östergötland when they visited him in 2004. Mats got the text from a lady and found it special. Now Mats often reads the poem when he have storytelling events.

Thanks to the unknown and Lars!
