WE WANT TO GET PEOPLE INTERESTED IN OUTDOOR LIFE
By informing people, we want to guide them into the boundless wonders of Sweden´s countryside. We want them to share the fantastic experiences which nature has to offer.
We want to publicise opportunities of outdoor recreation and show how readily available they are. We want to get people interested and enthusiastic about open-air life as a leisure activity.
In short, our aim is to open up the countryside to everybody, all the year round and in all winds and weathers.

WE WANT TO SHOW PEOPLE THE WAY TO THE COUNTRYSIDE THROUGH OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Friluftsfrämjandet runs guided outdoor activities through more than 490 local branches all over Sweden. Our main activities are participatory outdoor life, skiing and skating.
The "skogsmulle" school for children aged 5-7 is our best-known activity. In this way almost 1.500.000 children have been playfully instructed about nature and outdoor life.
Our activities also include canoeing and sea kayaking, backpacking, long-distance skating, fitness training, camping and wilderness expeditions, for example. We have 500.000 participants annually in our adult and family arrangements. Numerous and well-trained leaders are our guarantee of high quality and personal care.

We also work to enable handicapped to participate in outdoor life.

CO-OPERATION WITH AUTHORITIES AND ORGANISATIONS
By constant pressurisation we try to create a better understanding on the part of policy makers for the value of outdoor life. Our aim is to create better outdoor recreational opportunities for the future.
We are convinced of the social usefulness of greater awareness of nature and more time spent in the countryside - for relaxation and regeneration.

THE SWEDISH COUNTRYSIDE IS OPEN TO ALL OF US, THANKS TO
"EVERYMAN´S RIGHT" - THE RIGHT OF COMMON ACCESS
The wonders of Sweden´s countryside are there for all of us to enjoy - fragrance, bird song, carpets of wild flowers and the tranquil silence of the forest. But - we must not damage plants and animals, nor must we spoil other people´s property. Don´t abuse nature´s hospitality. Show consideration for people and animals.
