As CULTIVATE enters its final year, the project held its third in-person meeting in Nordhordland Biosphere Reserve in Western Norway.

After nine months of regular Teams meetings, and heaven knows how many months of discussions on the project application, the CULTIVATE team was finally able to meet up in person.
