Fiskars landscape and wildlife

Various species of tree grow handsomely in and around Fiskars Village. This area of natural beauty has been settled since ancient times and for more than two centuries much of it has been nurtured as parkland. Its precious broad-leaf trees are exceptionally magnificent. Taking the Torby Wood Walk one experiences a variety of woodland, the tranquillity of an old forest, and sees evidence of the life of its past inhabitants all the way back to the Iron Age.

Birds too are an intrinsic pleasure of the Fiskars landscape. You simply cannot walk through Fiskars Village without admiring the ducks in the river, the jackdaws in the Clock Tower and along the main street, the warblers and other songbirds in the sunlit groves of summertime, and all the forest birds in the surrounding hills.
