Literature
In May 2023, Siren Vibes published a small booklet about Lodbjerg Klitplantage – a plantation in Thy in the Western part of Jutland, where Margrethe (our CEO) comes from. The plantation lies in a beautiful part of Denmark, where Margrethe’s father worked as a forester for more than 30 years. The booklet was made to celebrate the 100 years anniversary of the plantation.
“Beate supported me during the time when my father got very sick and later died from cancer. She also encouraged me to write and take up the challenge of completing the booklet when it became clear that my father would not be able to do so. And she would have loved to see the booklet out!”
The booklet tells the story about how the forest was established 100 years ago as part of the efforts to protect the area against huge amounts of sand covering fields and houses in the area. A result partly of deforestation and partly of natural changes in temperatures. It also tells a lot of other stories from the area, so if you are planning a trip to Thy in 2024, reading the booklet is a good way to start dreaming!
The booklet (in Danish only, sorry!) is out for sale at a local bookshop in Thy called Hurup Boghandel (phone: +45 97951042) - and they will be happy to post it to you should you want to use it as a Christmas gift or otherwise. It can also be purchased in various other small shops in Thy – and is for sale at Nordisk Korthandel in Copenhagen - see https://www.scanmaps.dk/0251h83.
