This will be the first summer of The Arctic Fox Centre’s educating exhibition since we will open for the first time on June 12th.
The next months will therefore be used to manage the exhibition, set up information stands and load in particles and objects from private and official owners. We hope to make people better able to understand the nature of arctic foxes, their role in various ecosystems of the Northern Hemisphere and the battle with harsh nature, by visiting the Arctic Fox Centre.

 The Westfjords cluster works in accordance to the plans and this is the time for education. Last month the Westfjords Natural History Institute held a course in bird watching for the Icelandic school of guidance. In April the Arctic Fox Centre will hold a similar course about arctic foxes in wildlife tourism. We will also visit students of the elementary school of Sudavik and give them lectures about the arctic foxes and wood mice, as well as other very few wild mammals of the Icelandic fauna.

On April 17th there will be a conference on the behalf of the Westfjords Tourist association. The theme of the conference will be “Environmental Certification for Westfjords” and there will be a lot of interesting talks about the idea of certificating the whole region. As an example, The Arctic Fox Centre will give a talk about the importance of sustainability while “selling the wildlife” in tourism, for the behalf of the Westfjord Cluster of The Wild North.
