Campfire Mapping Programme

As Tromsø becomes an increasingly popular travel destination, the
pressure on nature and local communities is growing. At Boukersen Heim, we believe in responsible tourism and want to offer our guests the opportunity to make a positive impact while exploring the beautiful landscapes around Tromsø.

That’s why we’ve joined a programme led by the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) and Rissa Citizen Science, focusing on campfire mapping. Campfires, especially during the Northern Lights season, are too often made directly on the ground, damaging soil, vegetation, and habitats that support Arctic biodiversity.

During your tour, you’ll be encouraged to help your guide spot and register campfire sites. This will support important research to identify hotspot areas and guide restoration projects to return nature to its original state.
