My husband’s family are from Hammerfest and Kirkenes, the far north which I haven’t seen featured in your newsletter yet. He immigrated with his family to the US when he was 5 years old, but spent many summers in Norway. When we are out in the woods, nature, he gets quite agitated when he sees a No Trespassing sign in a remote area with often no buildings in site. Love the allemansretten rule, love to pick wild blueberries and multer in Norway and wish we had more area open here in the US nature. We are mushroom and berry foragers and are able to forage in the public lands in alpine Rocky Mountains fortunately.
