On June 20 this year, the first Latvian Fund for Nature Open meadow day of the summer will take place in the Abava Valley Nature Park, in Kandava parish, at the farm of nature farmers Linda and J\u0101nis Priednieki. The event invites anyone interested to get closer to natural grasslands and discover their biodiversity and restoration story. The event is suitable for families with children, groups of friends, and anyone who appreciates nature. <\/strong><\/p>\n

During the day, visitors will have the opportunity to experience meadows in full bloom and learn how they are managed on the farm. The morning will begin with coffee at 10:00, followed by a session from 10:30 to 11:30 where Linda and J\u0101nis Priednieki, together with Latvian Fund for Nature grassland expert Baiba Strazdi\u0146a, will share their experience in managing and restoring semi-natural grasslands. From 11:30 until 13:30, participants will be invited to join a guided walk through the blooming meadows with experts. The day will conclude from 14:00 to 16:00 with a picnic hosted by traditional Latvian hostess Kitija \u0160v\u012bgere, a Midsummer wreath-making workshop led by Linda Priedniece, and informal closing discussions. <\/p>\n

Open meadow days introduce visitors to nature farmers \u2013 landowners and managers who, alongside their agricultural activities, actively care for the preservation and restoration of natural values. Natural grasslands are among the most biologically rich ecosystems in Latvia, and their conservation requires purposeful management. <\/p>\n

Linda and J\u0101nis Priednieki have been managing and restoring semi-natural grasslands in the Abava Valley for several years, while also preserving the cultural and historical heritage of the Kurzeme region. Their farm is a place where nature meets creativity \u2013 alongside meadow management, it hosts art workshops, educational excursions, and Linda\u2019s ceramics studio, creating an environment where conservation is intertwined with creative and educational activities. <\/p>\n
