Laura Hall and her family get an exclusive look at Intrepid’s new Finland family holiday<\/a> and discover a new way to experience nature in an arctic forest.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a tree stump at the edge of Halipuu Forest in Finland<\/a> that tells a story. It\u2019s just a few steps down the woodland trail from the car park and it\u2019s the reason this forest is standing today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018This is where my father\u2019s lumberjack career began, aged just 12,\u2019 says Riitta Raekallio-Wunderink, who runs Halipuu Forest<\/a> with her husband Steffan, patting the old stump. It\u2019s also where it ended, decades later, with his realisation that he cherished the living forest more than the timber he gained by chopping it down.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riitta\u2019s father grew up here, on a piece of land given to his family by the state after they fled the fighting between Finland and the Soviet Union in the south during World War II. And, as she puts it, it wasn\u2019t an easy childhood: \u2018Imagine looking after eleven children in temperatures of -35\u00b0C.\u2019 The family was saved by the forest; timber was scarce back then, so cutting down the trees provided them with crucial income and a means of survival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Ten years ago, we were sitting at the campfire grilling sausages together when a tree fell in the forest,\u2019 Riitta recollects. \u2018Dad said it was a sign that it was time to cut the forest down. But he also said he didn\u2019t want to. He had this crazy idea that instead of cutting the trees down, we should put them up for adoption online and see if we could encourage people to rent them as hugging trees.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What sounds like a crazy idea has grown roots and leaves and now flourishes: the former timber forest is now a place where people can adopt trees, attend the annual World Tree Hugging Championships<\/a> and indulge in the delights of arctic cocooning. Arctic what? Well, we\u2019ll get to that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking in a wonderland, whether it\u2019s winter or not<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m on holiday in Finnish Lapland with my children, aged 10 and 14, exploring everything the area has to offer, from husky dog buggy rides to hand-feeding reindeer. It\u2019s fair to say that this forest experience is the most unusual. It\u2019s October, and as we follow Riitta down the muddy forest track, we can see patches of snow that fell last week next to green, star-shaped moss and frost-covered mushrooms. High above us, wispy, beard-like lichen hangs from tree boughs, collecting raindrops. As the gentle wintery sun shines through the trees, the drops sparkle like jewels.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trees are a precious commodity here, around 170 kilometres (105 miles) north of the Arctic Circle. Due to the climate in this extreme location, they only grow for eight weeks a year \u2013 and when you chop a tree down, it takes generations for another to grow in its place. It means, ‘when you plant a tree here, you won\u2019t enjoy it and neither will your children: it\u2019s something for your children\u2019s children,’ says Riitta.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m hoping to plant a different kind of seed in my children\u2019s minds: an interest in nature and an appreciation of the world around them. As a frazzled mum, I\u2019m keen to reduce my stress and have a relaxing holiday too. While travelling with a local leader has certainly made the logistics easier, it\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve had a truly restful holiday. What I didn\u2019t realise was that these two things can come together<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A warm welcome from the forest<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We follow the path through the forest, marked by orange ribbons on the trees, picking ruby-coloured lingonberries from the bushes as we go. Riitta stops us part way along it, asking us to put our glove-free hands on the tree trunks beside us, one on a silver birch tree, another on a pine.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018What can you feel?\u2019 she says. \u2018Is there a difference between the two trees?\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We try hard to work it out. \u2018One is smooth and the other is rough?\u2019 volunteers Olivia. It\u2019s true, but it\u2019s not the right answer. Riitta puts us out of our misery and says that these two trees behave very differently in the cold, and perhaps it\u2019s not cold enough yet to tell the difference, but birch trees pull all their energy into their roots, while pine trees are always warm, even in the depths of winter.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018They actually change their cell structure,\u2019 she explains, \u2018increasing the sugar structure in their cells like a kind of antifreeze to keep them from expanding and contracting with the changing temperatures.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Survival in the Arctic is a real thing: in these parts, temperatures can drop below -40\u00b0C and in the polar winter night season the sun sinks and doesn\u2019t come up for over two weeks. Nature goes into hibernation beneath layer upon layer of snow, and winter can linger for up to seven months of the year. Just as the ground is covered in soft rolling moss as we walk through it, in a few weeks it will be covered in snow.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Forest bathing in full swing<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s enough to make you shiver and reach for a blanket, and conveniently there is one on hand as we reach the midpoint of the forest walk: the arctic cocoons. Strung between the trees, three hammocks cosy with grey woollen blankets are waiting for us, a few steps from a roaring campfire. We obligingly climb in, with Riitta on hand to tuck in another blanket and set us gently swinging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re giggling; nobody has tucked me into bed since I was a child. Ellie looks over with pink cheeks and says it\u2019s like being a baby again, and Olivia just looks up at the trees above, a smile playing on her lips. The clouds above us are pure white; the tall trees below them so dark they look like paper cutouts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a supremely relaxing experience as we swing in the quiet forest, breathing in its cool, clean air. As we breathe in, we\u2019re also breathing in phytoncides, plant chemicals that trees release into the air to protect themselves from invasive species and organisms. These natural chemicals have been proven to boost human health too, reducing cortisol levels, decreasing stress and lowering blood pressure.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel the stress drop from my shoulders and dissolve in my body. The kids chuckle as Riitta swings them again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Embracing nature (and its health benefits) <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All too soon it\u2019s time to go, but not before we do one last thing. Riitta tells us that really, we shouldn\u2019t leave the forest without getting the best health benefit there: by hugging a tree.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Halipuu<\/em> means \u201ca tree to hug\u201d,\u2019 she says, explaining how they named the forest, \u2018And it\u2019s all come out of a love for the forest.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t feel like a strange thing to do, to wrap our arms around the tree trunks, close our eyes and breathe in their woody scent for a moment or two. It\u2019s an appreciation of the forest and its survival skills, as well as an appreciation of how good it can feel to experience nature in such a calming way. I\u2019m thankful for a break, and a moment of pure relaxation in the trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we\u2019re back on the track to the car, past blueberry bushes and bright pink moss, anthills and carpets of fallen leaves. We\u2019ve been thoroughly exploring Finnish Lapland\u2019s treasures all week, from its restaurants serving mushrooms and reindeer steaks \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bto its local handicrafts, but this is the one experience the kids can\u2019t stop talking about when they get home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
