Working remotely in the middle of a forest?
In Finland, it is now possible to work remotely in forests. Lahti, as a leading environmental city in Finland, wants to encourage its residents to enjoy the calming effect of nature and has therefore set up remote workstations in the city’s nature sites free for everyone to use. Spending time in nature has many benefits on our overall well-being, as it can at best improve one’s mood and reduce stress. Thanks to the workstations in Lahti, it is possible to combine remote work and nature in a convenient way and thus boost one’s energy.
Forests play a major role in building an ecologically sustainable future, but they also offer opportunities for relaxation in the midst of hectic everyday life.
