Supported by Nature

Mid-term Conference Supported by Nature

16 September 2025

From September 8–11, the Supported by Nature partners gathered at the Korpoström Archipelago Center, hosted by Turku University of Applied Sciences. Partners from biosphere reserves and organizations across Finland, Estonia, Poland, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden came together to shape the future of our project.

The conference was not only about reflection – it was about inspiration. Being surrounded by the unique archipelago environment reminded us why nature-based solutions are so vital for resilient waters, thriving communities, and future generations.

Together, we are creating learning sites that demonstrate nature-based solutions for watercourses, wetlands, and coastal habitats — while also strengthening cooperation across the Baltic Sea region.
