Lars Monsen is into the wild again! Now he is hunting for spectacular nature experiences and useful knowledge about the unique nature we have chosen to protect for the future. Lars will visit all of the country’s national parks, and in the first season he will visit six of the 48 national parks in Norway. He starts the first season with two in Finnmark, and ends with one in Nordland and one in Svalbard. In this article you can also get to know our 6 national park centers and 25 national parks (18 in Northern Norway and 7 in Svalbard). These are real treasure troves of nature and experiences.
Lars Monsen is half Northerner, with Sami ancestry and has spent much of his childhood and youth with a fishing rod and mountain boots in the fishing lakes and plateaus of Saltfjellet. Later, he has trawled most of the country length and breadth, in search of the dream fish and outdoor adventures. Something that has gradually made him an outdoor icon for all of Norway, and brought him to both across Canada and Alaska. It is precisely this experience and knowledge of how nature in Norway has developed from the early 1980s to the present day that we hear a lot about in this new series. And it is not just cheerful news about the development of biological diversity in our national parks.
In the first season he takes you to:
- Øvre Pasvik National Park (episode 1)
- Varangerhalvøya National Park (episode 2)
- Børgefjell National Park (episode 5)
- Svalbard’s 7 National Parks (episode 6)
