Office for Tree Migration / collection

Welcome to the Office for Tree Migration - Hyytiälä ! Which lies 37 kilometres from Mänttä at the University of Helsinki’s Hyytiälä Forest Station. The office monitors the migration of trees in the Siikaneva peatland reserve in Ruovesi and around the world via scientific monitoring cameras.
Although trees are rooted, it is a scientifically known fact that they migrate – very slowly, over a period of decades and centuries – to survive habitat degradation caused by climate change.
OTM agents engage in field work, observing trees and taking measurements. All indications of tree migration are recorded and shared with the international Office for Tree Migration network.

The Office for Tree Migration (OTM) Hyytiälä is part of the permanent Periferia – Forest Art Lab Collection of Art in the Forest exhibition.
